Three ran, two rucked. All stayed for this COT:

Scripture: Isaiah 40:31 (NIV) – “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”  In our walk with Christ, we often encounter challenges that test our faith and stamina. It’s easy to feel weary and let the burdens of life weigh us down. However, God calls us to live with a spirit of vitality and purpose, no matter our age or circumstances.

The story behind Toby Keith’s song “Don’t Let the Old Man In” illustrates this message. Inspired by a conversation with Clint Eastwood, Keith wrote this song after learning about Eastwood’s commitment to filming a movie at the age of 88. When asked how he manages to keep going, Eastwood simply replied, “I get up every day, and I don’t let the old man in.”

This attitude aligns with the biblical call to renew our strength in the Lord. Isaiah 40:31 reminds us that those who hope in the Lord will find their strength renewed. They will soar on wings like eagles, run and not grow weary, walk and not be faint. Our trust in God empowers us to live each day with enthusiasm and resilience, regardless of our age.

Just as Clint Eastwood’s determination inspired Toby Keith, we too can draw inspiration from those around us who live vibrantly for God. More importantly, we can find strength in our relationship with Christ.

When we focus on Him and not on our limitations, we can overcome any obstacle.  Let us strive to live each day to its fullest, trusting that God will provide the strength we need. Instead of succumbing to weariness, let’s embrace the vitality and purpose God has given us. Remember, it’s not about our age or circumstances but about our trust in the Lord.

Other ramblings of @Bucky and @WetnWild

Outstanding morning. Thanks everyone for extraordinary effort. @WetnWild terrific lead!

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.

In honor of Turtleman, YHC found his VQ from September 20, 2017 and tried to replicate it at the Bulldog this morning. Clavin and Timeframe assisted with the music and insight on Turtleman’s preferences and post-exercise comments of “We’re Not Doing That Again.”

The backblast below is word from word from the original. Locations were changed to areas around WA Bess.

Siete pax se reunieron en la penumbra para un miercoles por la manana golpean hacia abajo.

The goal was to post the BB with a full Spanish update.  With  spell check and other technical difficulties, that would take all night.  No time for that.  So here goes.

The thang as best that I recall:  The pledge followed by warm up:  SSH x 20 IC, LBC’s x 20 IC, Merkins x 10 IC, Moroccan Night Club’s x 10 IC.  Mosey towards KFC to pick up some rocks and on to the old HT.  Put the coupons down to start.  Up first, run to the loading dock, jump up, bear crawl down the ramp, run to parking lot and do 20 squats.  Rinse and repeat times 5.

Mosey towards the Food Lion, pause for 10 burpees, then continue towards car wash.  Borrow the curb for dips x 15 IC and derkins x 10 IC then rinse and repeat.  Mosey to Union Rd and detour to Dollar store.  They have a nice parking lot so YHC figured would do some Mary, 20 WWI sit ups, 20 LBC’s,  60 seconds of PC planks, followed by mtn climbers x 30 – rinse and repeat.  Recover and mosey back toward old HT.  Midway stop for 10 burpees.

Back to reclaim our coupons.  Partner up, on the ground with backs to backs , pass rocks in a full cycle x 20 then run to 2nd light and back.  Rinse and repeat times 3.  Quick 10 count and then shoulder presses x 20 into lunge walk with coupons to 1st light and back.  Seems like we  did that 3x’s.  Whoopie kept with a quick count off 5, 10, so we just continued.  Finished with a quick balls to the wall for a minute.  Time was getting close, mosey to return rocks and then jail break back to snow balls.

Moleskin:  Great work by all. It was a pleasure to lead.  A quick shout out to Snow Man, who posted for the first time a week or so ago.  He’s focused and putting in the work.   A great example for all of us to keep pushing and digging forward,be it life, a work out, job or whatever.   On a related note, Q power is real.   I always heard that but it took experiencing it to truly understand.  If you haven’t Q’d or posted in a while, only you can make it happen.

Till next time – Turtle Man

Mas Vale Tarde Que Nunca

Tesla was late. Things happened. Dr Seuss will probably get the Skillet now. Stay tuned.

Yesterday, five brave PAX gathered in the gloom to test their mettle at the Bulldog location. The morning was cool and quiet, as the group prepared for an intense workout with Qing taking the lead. The promise of four-minute AMRAP sessions for each exercise had everyone geared up for a challenging and rewarding start to the day.

DJ Push Play provided the perfect soundtrack for the morning, curating a playlist of eight songs, each precisely four minutes long. This set the pace for the workout, which focused on targeting eight major muscle groups: hamstrings, chest, biceps, triceps, back, quads, shoulders, and abs.

The structure was simple but intense: for each exercise, PAX were tasked with performing as many reps as possible within the four-minute timeframe. After each set, there was a one-minute break for rest or light moseying, allowing the group to catch their breath.

Four minutes can feel like an eternity.
