Twas the night before the Murph and the forecast showed 92% chance of rain. 0510 and the majority of the rain was west of us but we had a light mist upon us. Promises from several PAX appeared to have "dried up" (Mulligan and Finkle) but 6 hard chargers at Mustang and 3 from SVU braved the misting rain to post for #TheMurph… But then 0530 hit and the bottom dropped out. SWFL ran in as usual, Mater cruises in with his barbie jeep, Clark was early, Bertha and Broke roll in with Broke sporting a weighted vest (No they weren't riding together, but they'd make a cute couple if they did). Boucher rolls up last at 0531. Strudel, Dandelion and Shirley did their thing at SVU.
Sometime around 0535 and one bolt of lighting lit up the sky. That was unexpected. But since it was rather far away and the only one we saw, we kept going.
T-Claps to Bertha for always knowing how many reps/rounds we had completed.
In the end, 1 mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 'merikins, 300 squats, 1 mile run and we left.
Well most of us left right away. The Po-Po was trying to catch us riding dirty and attempted to cite us for a class 2 misdemeanor for failing to maintain 6' of separation. Actually that's not true; Apparently the drama teacher was missing some drama in his life and set off the alarm which triggered the law. Broke had to take his body armor off. This slowed him down which allowed time for the sherrif deputy to roll up on him. An EH was given to the LEO, but for today that's the end of this story.
Reflection
Exodus 9:33
"Then Moses left Pharaoh and went out of the city. He spread out his hands toward the LORD; the thunder and hail stopped, and the rain no longer poured down on the land."
What happened before this backblast was appraently everything before this verse. Pharaoh was holding the PAX in Egypt. Moses was pissed and was like, "dude, you gotta let my people go or I'm going to bring hail and rain and such as a message from God". Pharaoh was like, "yeah man, you right… I'm a bad dude, I'll let your people go, just don't destroy all the Gluten and beer making products."… But it was too late, everything was destroyed… bad Pharaoh. Moses made the hail storm stop… Then the Pharaoh was like "Haha, noob, joke's on you, I got you to stop the storm, but your people are staying with me."
How many times in life have we been Pharaoh? God tried to destroy some sin on our life, we cry out to God that we will comply, "just please make the pain stop God and I'll do better"… but then after the storm is over we go right back to our sinful ways?
