12 PAX went slightly off course and "strayed" from the much anticipated #straythecourse and landed at JV Washam for Man Maker Monday.
Here's a general recap of what went down.
Traveled a short distance with our KB's and circled up for a brief warm-a-rama. PAX paid special attention to the "half-Soprano" dose of SSH's and other warm-up exercises included IST, Long Slow Windmill, among others.
Continue to travel with KB's with a brief stop for some Rocky Balboa and curb incline and decline merkins
The Dirty Dozen's main focus was on a descending ladder in the side back parking lot which included KB swings, Air Squats, and WWII's starting with 10, and descending by 1. After each round of excercises, PAX did a lap around the packing lot. YHC noticed an extremely quiet group shortly after the circuit and was thankful for Popcorn to start some good #mumblechatter.
Upon completing the circuit, PAX traveled back to starting point, stopping halfway for more Rocky Balboa's, KB curls, KB skull crushers and KB goblet squats. Upon returning to the starting point, PAX finished with 2 minutes of MARY, including low flutters, LBC's and Rosalita's.

Noteworthy
- Please sign up for the Operation Sweet Tooth Race which is held on September 17 (link below). Some ideas if you're hesitant: pay it forward by signing up another PAX to run it, run it virtually, invite your entire family and walk it, ruck it, lots of options here. Olive wants and needs our support. He also mentioned volunteers are very much needed as well! YHC did it last year with 2.0 and 3.0 and it was fantastic.

- So good to see Olive at Man Maker Monday as YHC hasn't been to workout with Olive since Fission a while back and also fondly recalls Olive's Daytona 500 Q earlier in the year.
- Popcorn thankful for your presence this morning and always keeping it fun! Great story you shared with YHC and Ultraman hahaha! Humbled you passed on The Sword in your own backyard and "strayed" north.
- Jersey Boy continues to express his passion around perhaps the most important AO Toby Talks, a safe place to share your burdens or just come and listen to support others. Thanks JB for always promoting Toby Talks and thank you Popcorn for the vision you had to bring Toby Talks to Lake Norman. Huge difference maker for a lot of men, YHC included.
- More congrats to the Lake Logan Triathletes who showed up this morning…. Holiday, Omaha, who else am I missing? Wasn't sure if Einstein did it, Diehard? If not, they sure are fit enough!
- YHC shared story about brother in law who is 43 years old and has found his purpose in collecting 12,000 golf balls in his community over the last few years and has decided to donate half of the proceeds to the Autism Society of NC. YHC's brother in law bundled the balls in mesh bags in sets of12 (and by brand) and is selling them for $5 dozen. Thanks to all PAX for purchasing a set this morning….more coming soon after my next trip to Raleigh.
- Special thanks to Jersey Boy who generously offered to match whatever money was raised towards the Autism Society of NC.
- Lots of well deserved RESPECTS this morning Einstein, Hat Trick, Jersey Boy, Deep Dish, Ultraman, Die Hard, Holiday, Omaha – you guys are kicking butt!
- And last but certainly not least, a DOUBLE RESPECT and an absolute fixture on Man Maker Monday, STROMBOLI! Have you ever missed Man Maker Monday OR PAINinsula??? You're crushing it brother!
Honored to lead in the gloom and such a blessing being with each of you this morning!
Humbly in Christ,
Possum
