Mosey:
At this point I planned on running an entire lap to get in some cardio. We were going to bear crawl parts of it, crab walk others, etc. All the way back to the shovel flag, but then I saw it! "The Pit" as I have aptly named it has been improved. Guess they got tired of people doing donuts down there so they made it a gravel lot. U-Turn! We gotta go do something over there since they improved it for us.
The Pit:
spartans. Sprint to the other end, 10 merkins and jog back.
We did about 5-6 rounds of this. On the final one Delorean pulled up lame and pulled his hammy. Getting old sucks! However, Scud proved he could still outrun DD so that is something. Nice work! Can't let these kids show us up even if it costs us a leg!
Mosey back to the flag for Mary:
Captain Thors to 6. Finished them up in the post party
FNGs:
Circle up and let's name them. First up, our visitor from Chattanooga (Chattanooga PAX sent him our way). This cat is amazing. Showed up in a hooded sweatshirt despite the fact it was 70 degrees. Then progressed to tell us he is an Iraq Veteran. He got his nickname because he said "The first time I got shot" I refused to curse so all he said was "Jiminy Crickets" hence the name Crickets. "The first time" are you kidding me! Dude had his whole hip replaced because it was shattered by a bullet from an AK-47. He received the purple heart from Colin Powell, will be in town for awhile as his son, Isaac, receives treatment for his cancer. Amazing dude that we were privileged to meet. Hope he keeps coming back!
Second FNG came with Rim Shot (nice work RS, way to help us give it away). He plays in the Franklin HS band drum line. He got his nickname because he told us he once got accused of shoplifting at a Love's and the entire time he was getting in trouble all he could do was nervous laugh. So we named him Giggles. He was working hard this morning, look forward to seeing him again as well! These young guys definitely make us old dudes push a little harder.
Prayers: Our brother Spicoli as he undergoes more cancer treatment, Maytag's cousin Allan who is battling COVID-19, and FNG Crickets son, Issac, that is battling cancer. Also, Delorean's hammy, hope it's just cramps and not actually pulled/torn.
Always a pleasure to lead gents. Thanks for the opportunity.
