Got the text around 5:05 from Hefty w/ I have a migrane can you or Clark cover the Q. I responded back quickly to make sure Clark didn't take it so we didn't have to do some workout with a womens name.
I could tell all the PAX were disappointment when I told them Hefty was on the IL for the morning and I was taking the Q

Reflection
After Hefty asked me to take the Q I thought I had to have a good reflection for this one. So I thought 8th book, 8th chapter, and 8th verse. Well the book of Ruth only has 4 chapters. I went with the next book.
1: Samual 8:8
Ever since I brought them from Egypt they have continually abandoned me and followed other gods. And now they are giving you the same treatment. 9. Do as they ask, but solemnly warn them about the way a king will reign over them.
Israel wanted a king and God warned them that they really didn't. God really knows best for us so keep your eyes focused on him and follow that path.
M/C
PAX really would have preferred Hefty including YHC.
The PAX didn't seem to think the fun exercises were to fun.
Mulligan reminded me after the fact that his LBCs should have only been 30 each set.
Sonar came out for a mid week work out
PAX were really glad we went with Quadraphelia around the track vs lunge walk around the track. Sorry we just didn't have enough time.
Thank goodness Bertha didn't show up or I may have remembered the 100 burpees in 10 minutes
So this was the 8th year of Mustang. I have only been here for 4, but they have been "Fun". Hefty introduced me to F3 "Fun" very early on with the Basin Run Relay. In F3 if someone says it will be fun it will more than likely suck, but you will be glad you did it afterwards.
When I think of F3 I think of Mustang. There are great AO's everywhere, but to me Mustang is it. The only reason Dolittle and myself started The Meat Locker was to try and give other PAX that wasn't willing to travel that far south the same experience that Mustang has been for us. I know the time I have spent in the gloom with you guys has changed me for life.
There was a lot of PAX that were not present or represented by an exercise that have made Mustang what it is. We missed you and thank you. Hope to see you soon.
Thank you brothers for everything you do for me in the gloom and in my life. Thank you Sonar for the introducing me to this.
