5/15 Ricky Bobby Light crowd this morning so i opted out of Shirts and Skins Football and it’s a good thing because Tooth Fairy showed up slathered in calamine lotion and other exogenous forms of steroid, antibiotics, and itch creams. Someone obviously dumped a 55 gallon drum of poison ivy in hes well because he had that junk all over his body. I mean even in his eyes. That’s one tough dude to be out here getting in that work in that condition. Hats off to that guy. As far as the workout goes. I think it was a pretty good one. I remember it well but I ain’t typing it all up tonight cause I have several more of these to get typed up.

We had a lot of ruckers this morning and one runner. A god Qsource representation to go into Q2.0. YHC does it a little differently and for a reason when it comes to teaching the material there. I think it’s a little wordy from time to time and guys tend to just read it sometimes. I want to throw an alternative on the table for you guys to follow that goes like this:

Read the material and make a few notes to hit the main points.

The main points can begin with the Socratics and expand from there.

Teach by asking questions of the group. Ger everyone involved. Reach out to guys that normally don’t talk and get them involved.

Don’t get hung up on a lot of the verbiage in that book. Dredd can get a little wordy and the best way to navigate that I find is to summarize it and pick out the main points and roll with them.

Keep a time limit on getting through the material or you’ll never get through it. So be of a mind to move forward.

Be able to do a good summary and/or “closing argument”.

That said do it your way! But don’t get bogged down in the wordiness of it all. There is a bigger picture there and that’s what you want to get at.

5/9 Folsom the morning after the storm. 5 HIM made the trek through treacherous terrain and downed trees and power lines to get in a workout. It was still nasty out so I Omahed my workout and our normal starting location to the shed at the lower lot. Here we did several exercises for timed rounds. At the end of each round we took a quick lap around the lower parking lot. We did this for several rounds until time was up. Nothing spectacular but we got in some good work.

COT

END

Folsom 5/2 we had 5 show up to run way too much for a boot camp. Close to 4 on my watch. We also got in several rounds of Burpees, Bonnie Blairs, Merkins, Squats, & LBCs to go along with the extended moseys.

COT, Praise, Prayers, Announcements

Whoopee called for a five mile EC ruck and BOS, Flintstone, and Roscoe answered. Roscoe saw a beaver and has an awkward video to prove it (insert middle school boy joke here.)

Capt Stubing turned 50 around 8am and joined Winehouse for a run. Shortsale and YHC rucked w a walking Defib, too sore from helping Tooltime move yesterday.

Q source discussion revolved around Maxwell’s 21 irrefutable laws – this one on the Law of Respect.

Just before we celebrated a great Extinction Run we celebrated at The Yank. Jane Fonda was getting married that evening and I turned 39. We also had a PAX in town from Atlanta. You should’ve been there.

Pledge of Allegiance

Jane Fonda warned us up for about 13 minutes then put in about 2-3 minutes of hard work. I messed up my addition of 3+9 and it all went down hill from there.
