‘Twas the morn before Christmas and in the gas house three creatures were stirring early at the house. On Hermie on Nessman go walking with sledge down Union Road to the waffle house edge, do all the talking turn around and walk back then get to your computer and post it on slack. Watts Up’s harassment more than a week post, keeps Nessman haunted like Christmas past ghost. As they walked down the road and the work out did end it was circle of trust and said prayers for their friends. For all of our families and Hermes “M” Flo’s post Covid emergence and get us prepared for January 9 convergence. As I got in my Honda and I drove out of sight I knew I’d be dressing as the fat man the very next night. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
Month: January 2021 (Page 11 of 11)
1/1/21 we celebrated the 10th year of our men’s group. I say our men’s group and not our workout group because it is so much more than that. It is a men’s group for all the things we need it to be. Fitness, leadership, friendship, support group, and anything you need it to be at the moment when you need it to be. That is why we celebrate because we had something missing in our lives and this has been able to fill it. I’m very thankful for the 21 men that chose to celebrate with me on this day by logging 10 miles in one form or another. Some ran 10, some rucked 10, and some ran and rucked. I’m also thankful for all of those that answered the call to serve by donating blankets and soap. These items are being donated to the Salvation Army to fill an immediate need they have. This kicks off my word for 2021-Serve. I’ve started a list of ways I plan to live out this word this year and one of those items is to collect and give at least once a month. All to often we donate during the holidays and then forget about it the rest of the year. My goal is to meet needs all during the year and of course I’ll be dragging you men into it with me. Great job everyone on the 10 miles and maybe next year we will do 11!
With nothing planned I showed up hoping I can pull off a good Q. 5 of us showed up on a wet New Year Day / my birthday.
With a small warm-up we moseyed down to the QT. Completing monkey humpers, CDD and a couple other exercises in cadence.
We continued passed Tony’s ice cream down to the towing company. I explain how I knew the guy in the building behind The towing company. With that we gave him some monkey humpers as well.
We continued up the street toward the funeral home. With two cars sitting at the stop light we decided to give them some monkey Humpers to look at. I explain to the guys how I had once went to that funeral home for a mother of a good friend of mine.
We continued over to South Street where we stopped and sprinted up the hill to the stop sign.
We then completed a couple of Route 66s. Around the corner we did some wall sitting for one minute and then mosey back to the start.
During the route 66s is where the Merlot came in, we had a very good splashing going on this a.m. Folger has been three for three on workouts and now is three for three on his Merlot. He has not missed a workout without a Merlot. Folger is a great guy. and takes his lumps well. Let’s continue to encourage him as he strives to get better physically.

14 of us at The Ricky Bobby on a mild Wednesday morning. One PAX already out on a long run, the rest of us gathered for some bootcamp. Nothing big planned, we warmed up with a mosey. Moseying through the neighbor hood learning about the routes and stopping along several points completing exercise OYO because we wanted to not wake the neighbors. Finished up with some wall sits and some sprint work that I had learned from the night before at Midoriyama. Great group of guys pushing hard and giving some good conversation about workout Q’ing.

Prayer request for other PAX on the IR and some personal ones as well. Keep your brothers in prayer and contact someone you haven’t seen lately.
Thanks again brothers!!
