MOLESKIN:

  • Based on the comments, you would have thought we bearcrawled for 3 mi uphill, with no gloves, in the snow…it was maybe 1/8 mi…clearly the pax needs more practice…strong work to those that finished the entire crawl
  • Turkish Burpees were a crowd pleaser #S2K
  • Sweet C loves curls…well everyone loves curls I guess
  • Good to see the Birkdale clown car unload at TMO but they forgot to pickup Eeyore and Magnus
  • Schneider back out crushin' it in the gloom
  • Thanks for rucking this AM Jimmy O and TClaps to a huge #TheStandard effort for those that ran
  • Pretty sure Mr. Burns/Jimmy O EH'd a sad clown post workout and then Ramrod got him to HC to the BRR without being there…watch Twitter for the official recruitment
  • Prayers up for DryHop, and his family, who had to leave early either because of the bear crawls or to tend to his pregnant wife
  • So many prayers needed in Isotope (Pierogi's mom, Snake Eyes mom, Earl Gray's sister, and many many others)…keep everyone in your thoughts this week
  • Roast of Dallas has been moved to 3/3…watch twitter for other announcements

Thanks to Mr. Burns for the opportunity to Q at The Mighty Oak. It is such a pleasure to lead such a fine group of men into the gloom. Thanks to the Lake Forest Men's ministry for the EH (Email Headlock in my case) and to the pax for the constant encouragment and motivation. Until the next time…
