A pax of 25 (Shamrock not listed above) learned the fine art of hula hooping this morning by way of burpees. It was a cold start but we warmed up quickly. This is their story:

YHC showed for some sadclown ruck PT which included a mile of zamperini, bear crawls, and merkins.
0500
Dingo, Fillet, and YHC set out for 2.5 miles to meet #TheStandard at a nice 2ndF pace

HULA-MAN MOLESKIN:
- 60 burpees by my count because we are mostly laughable with a hula hoop…practice makes perfect…you'll see the hoop at another DonHo Q soon
- Gray Ghost may be the best Isotopian with a hula hoop, strong work
- Magnus was FLYING on the runs down the parking deck ramp
- Shoe thought YHC was lost heading back to the rock pile, happy to give you the tour brother
- Happy Birthday Hippie
- Lots of respects out this morning and they crushed it as usual
- Prayers up for Curt and his family (Shamrock's friend fighting bone cancer) and Duvall's family
- Hopefully this morning added a little fun to the mix. YHC had planned to bring the hoop a year ago to my VQ and forgot the hoop. This morning seemed fitting to put it into action.
- As always, thanks to the Lake Forest Men's Ministry for the EH (Email Headlock in my case) and to the pax for their continued motivation and encouragement. Also, thanks to Hippie for the opportunity to Q at #Hollywood. It is always an honor and a pleasure to lead such a fine group of men.
Until the next time…
