The Sword 3/18/24

We started the week off right with some running, then a small word from Colossians 3: 1-12. It further emphasized the discussion on “Jester” the day before at Crossroads. Be prepared to battle your Jester(s) daily, putting away the sinful desires of the flesh and putting on the “New Man” in Christ.

Down by the River with RoboCop @ Diablo Sammich (3/19/2024)

Disclaimer was given immediately: “I don’t know what I’m doing.”

An FNG is on the scene; better straighten up and act right.

After disclaimer, it was a cold and dark morning in Diablo Sammich-ville, yet 6 HIMs braved that brisk weather for a precise 2.50 mile ruck through the woods and down by (Martha’s) River.

We celebrated our FNG’s favorite restaurant, Bep-pa, with 10 Heel Raises to spice up the ruck just a tad.

We did an extra loop around Pelican Snoball’s at the end because we had 90 seconds remaining, and precision is key.

Welcome FNG, “RoboCop” (Scott O’Dell)!

Thanks for allowing me to lead, men. It was an honor.

No propaganda necessary

5 HIM posted for a classic Saturday morning gashouse beatdown.  The propaganda on Slack leading up to today had reached epic proportions with each AO boasting about their respective Saturday morning AOs.  For gashouse to be understated is the MO.  With YHC as the Q and the weather perfect you don’t need propaganda to entice HIM – you know you’re going to get better after this one. We attracted at least one NC State fan and another seemed to have partied a little too much to be there on time.

Warm-up: SSH, Gravel pickers and Hillbillies

Thang: Mosey to  Parkwood parking lot for suicides – with escalating burpees on the end x5

Then mosey to Sherwood Elementary track to train for the PT test.  Beginning in a month we will roll out several PT tests.  This one is the classic and today’s workout was not for time but rather to push pax to stay on target.  Start with 1 lap then do 100 each of Merkins, Squats, LBCs and SSH. Run a lap then do 75 of each, run a lap do 50 of each run a lap and do 25 of each then mosey back to flag for COT.  As we circled up who should appear but a Listeria contaminated Sargento.  Apparently he posted a little late and moseyed all around the gashouse region looking for us for 45mins but could not find us at the track!  Not sure if this will qualify for a point – will need to take it to committee for review.

Announcements:

April 13 Convergence at 7am at Caromont park prior to Community Foundation run – Dr Seuss and Wirenut to lead!  Can’t wait to see this Abbott and Costello routine

April 20th Extinction run at Primal.  Run starts at 10 beer flows at 11

May 4th The Goonie – A 10+ mile ruck with entertainment along the way.  Will leave from Gashouse at 3am and be back before 7am.  Bring a ruck and dry clothes

Prayers:

Huckleberry, Turtleman, Tube’s M, Karl McKinnon family,
