Making Samson Great Again By Getting Intimate With The Islands


Day 4 of the week of Olive takes us to Samson.  After my snafu yesterday, YHC was determined to make sure there would be no extra time in the fartsack and loss of time in the Gloom.  7 alarms in total between the M and I to make sure I deliver the pain and love on Valentine’s Day.  Thankfully, YHC was energized and ready to go.  Lawn Dart had a solo #standard.  10 men and 1 pup were about to get after it!

Trying to remember to stop on 14 was a challenge.  Sometimes 15.  Sometimes 13.  When is the next Q School?

Apparently I brought some structure to Samson.  I guess I am trying to #MakeSamsonGreatAgain

Not a ton of mumblechatter directed at me, except when I threatened the Pax that I would double the burpees on the 2nd island hopping.  Many however, seemed to be having too good of a time out there. 

We failed to EH professor as he was taking some laps in around us.

Always interesting when the Pax are on their six and there is a pooch running around…and licking and…

Great to see the Samson faithful again.  Its been a while boys.  Will do better posting!

All in all, strong work by the Pax and it was a pleasure to share the Gloom with you folks.

 

Live Life.  Own Every Second.  Never, Ever Take Anything For Granted.

 

Humbly Yours-
