Run to the bottom of Mortimer Hill.  We climbed it via:

  • Bear crawl x 20 yards
  • Lunge walk x 20 yards
  • Quadraphelia a bunch
  • Crab walk x 20 yards

Ran back to the AO, on the way we did some Monkey Humpers, then Mary:

  • JLOs x 15 IC

Recover, recover.

Moleskin:

  1. We talked about Operation Sweet Tooth.  Here is a link from several weeks back with more information:  http://www.f3isotope.com/content/update-on-operation-sweet-tooth-october-9th-2016.  On that link you will find more information about what gifts are acceptable to donate.  We will look to collect the donations at the holiday party.  If you can't make that, don't worry, we'll find a way to distribute your gifts.  Thank you for your consideration. 
  2. We prayed for Caboose and family as his son Carson had surgery on Thur.  All reports indicate that the little guy is doing well.
  3. We prayed for and are thankful for Mortimer's beautiful baby girl Arden, who was born this weekend.
  4. Great group today, appreciate all the banter. 
  5. We covered ~2.8 miles with a lot of pain stations mixed in.  The next time you are faced with running up Mortimer Hill, just remember that it could be worse.
  6. 66 out there, working hard, keeping up with everyone with a broken wrist.  There are no excuses for others who have been called out repeatedly for missing Titan.
  7. Thank you Tantrum for the opportunity to lead, always an honor.

Have a great week gentlemen.  Turnpike.
