Finally back off the sideline after surgery. Oh, how I have missed you, Gloom! Yes, I have been able to run, but it just isn't the same as crawling around on the pavement and tossing rocks around. Cobains to all pax as I was knocking the rust off a little bit, and this will continue throughout the backblast.
Something was in the air (a freaking huge moon among other things) as I believe 2 other AOs converged impromptu. I like to think that they looked up at the super moon and instead of seeing a face, for a split second, they saw a chicken wing, and were beckoned.

MARY (sort of…abs still healing for YHC)
Plank…UNTIL FAILURE
Moleskine:
I tried to make a point about failure during MARY which was the underlying point behind the two failure exercises. Not sure if it registered, likely due to YHC's being a little gassed. So let's try again.
We all fail. I fail at something everyday and hopefully it is a small failure. Let's continue to take accountability for those failures, learn from them, fail less, and become better men. Then there are those bigger failures in life, the ones that leave you second guessng and replaying scenarios in your head. Know that you have an outlet (all 3 Fs) to help you process. In all likelyhood, one of us has been through something similar before and can offer perspective. Be open about sharing your shortcomings just as much as you are about your victories. Your brothers are here to pick you up. ISI
Aye!
