Sometimes men embrace change and challenge with vigor and enthusiasm, and sometimes they run and hide behind lame excuses, 21 men embraced it this AM. Here is their story:
0501: YHC, Mini, Dallas and 9er arrive for a 2.2 mi run and jump over a partially completed greenway trail. This is called #thestandard. If you are meeting the standard, you will know it. If not, you will know it.
0530:
KBs down and Run around the church
Warmorama:
SSH x 20 (IC)
Cotton Picker x 20 (IC)

The Blender has certain traditions, no warm up, no disclaimer, no running, no backblasts, many kb swings.
We decided to reverse course on this and still get plenty of reps in.
Welcome FNG GP, who is now known as Bumble Bee. Named after the mighty mascot "Art the Bee" of S.C.A.D.
strong work by the blender regulars, Springy, BamBam, Rico, etc.
Rocket & Olaf carried on a conversation throughout the entire workout, they did all the exercises and did all the running, but I don't think they ever stopped talking. 2ndF on fleek.
El Chapo it 0530. But when you come out and casually smoke most of the pax, i can't really say anything.
Same to you Snoopy
Bagboy & Mini rekindled their bromance, they were last seen venturing off to the hut for some early morning 3rdF.
LaBon & I worked out together yesterday, and I don't know why we did HR mericans, it seemed appropriate yesterday.
Dallas, great job leading this AO, I hear you have some great plans to give the Isotope pax a great workout week in and week out!
Lastly, thanks to dallas for letting me have a shot at the Q and thanks to the Pax for the effort. I love mumblechatter but I also love hearing the Pax pushing themselves as hard as they can. I remember when Black Eyed Pea EHd me, he said I would walk into work in the morning feeling like a million bucks after a F3 workout. I know the guys that pushed themselves to the max got that feeling today and that is awesome. Now comes the next step, get out there and share this gift. If its about you its not big enough, every man here this AM has their story, go be a part of the next man’s story. Somebody is praying for it right now!
Argh!
