It was a nice cool damp morning rolling into Folsom this morning. With the turnouts we’ve been seeing over the past few weeks, YHC had no doubt today would be different. After a minute or two of chatter, QIC called time to clock in.

No FNGs, but a disclaimer was in order.

Warmarama:
SSH and Gravel pickers X10 IC
Mosey up the road and around to pond 1 parking lot.

Thang starts here;

Line up for Route 66. We’re doing Bobby Hurley’s and lunges walking each parking space in between; 1 up to 11

Mosey down to the larger parking lot by the ball fields.

Line up on the curb for some 11’s. Mike Tyson’s on the curb, run across to the other curb for squat jacks. 10/1, 9/2, 8/3, you know the drill, but each time you cross the center of the lot get a burpee in.

Short recovery here for some words. YHC has a quote that I keep in the back of my mind daily. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” Edmund Burke. This should be an encouragement for men to step up and be men. Lead as we were designed by the Sky Q. With all that’s going on, just remember that people are watching. We should shine in the darkness. We are called to lead in our families and our communities. We should be open minded, but at the same time stand true to our beliefs. Lastly, love each other and those around you. It doesn’t take much to have a positive impact on the ones you are in contact with.

Now, mosey on down to the lower main lot for some hill work. Triple nickel was called here. Big Boy sit-ups at the top run to the bottom for hand release merkins. Repeat it 5 times. Mumble chatter started to pickup even from the newer men, but all went to work.

Mosey back to the tennis courts. With a couple minutes remaining, Q calls for some Mary and asked several PAX to call their picks. Time was called at 0615.

Pledge

Prayers: RoundUps wife(baby), HIPAA surgery Friday, Pockets mom Recovering, our country leadership

Moleskin: it was an honor to lead the fine men of Folsom, the Premier AO of the region. It had been a while since I had. With all my mess going on, I want to thank you men who continue to encourage me and check in to see how I’m doing. That’s what has motivated me more than anything to be out there. Remember, be a leader. Lead by example. Respect and love others because it is contagious and will help generate and expand it to make our communities better.

MDub out!
