First things first, we are looking at you Con Man; Smores; Kachow; & Slugger. Somebody find these refuseniks and get them registered on the website!
So this was my first visit to MMM and I was a little concerned that I might not meet the high expectations of Sir Olive, then I see Moses, Outlaw and TwinkleBalls in the Pax and I figured its really not going to matter what I do, we will be having some fun.
So glad to have Dallas in my ear for the ENTIRE WORKOUT. Mumblechatter was on fleek
Red Cedar, you got stronger today brother, keep at it!!!
Jimmy O must have been a farmer growing up, cause he can move on those carries
Calypso, that was not a farmers carry 🙂
Also Calypso, way to share the sidewalk with the ruckers. that was just rude!
Mr Burns, you had options this AM, and you picked the right one!
Spare & I had a discussion about bowling during the standard, which goes to show, rucking gives you opportunities to discuss the most obsure of things.
Captain, glad to see you parked on the street this AM>
Cornwallis was the toughest pastor at this workout, your move Tweetsie.
T-claps to Blackbeard for rucking solo…also we started at 0500
Gang Green has the beard, where is your ruck? (TBC & Burns, help the man out, he is one of you)
Now that Travolta has firm plans for 4.21.16, he has returned to wearing bright colors. Do the 1/4
Thanks to Olive for giving me the opportunity to lead, it was an honor. As always, thanks to Black Eyed Pea for introducing me to F3 and giving me the opportunity to become a better man. Moses said it best this AM, we had 365 men at the 5 year convergence Friday, F3 started with just over 30. If the 35 men from this AM don't share this gift, it goes nowhere. I challenge you to be the one to bring this to a future leader. Somebody is praying for it right now, don't be afraid to share it.
Argh!
