Circle up around the big, long, thick, black… rope.  Don’t touch it, just look at it.

  • Circle plank shoulder to shoulder, right hand on neighbor’s back, left foot on neighbors right calf.  About 30 secs, then switch to left hand, right foot.  That was interesting.

  • Hand tap Merkins
  • Partner Sit-ups (locked at feet, reach up and high-5

Moleskine:

Today is YHCs and the Ms 27th wedding anniversary, and thus the partnership emphasis.

The “storm” really wasn’t much at all – little sprinkle around the deck mostly.  But most of the pax still managed to get wet.

We got to share the deck with FiA today (2 pax) but no sign of Camp Gladiator – skeered off by the weather, no doubt.

Not sure how hard the workout was – felt like we worked, and on paper it looked pretty awful, but to YHC it didn’t seem too bad as YHC drove to coffeteria or home after.  Perhaps it was just a lot of fun and that was a good distraction.  Lot of pax mumblechatter, but a lot of laughter as well.  Hope you got to know your partner better today.

T-Claps to the M for putting up with me for 27 years, and especially the last 9.5 with me in F3 (enter “9.5” joke here).  She has been a partner beyond anything YHC could have ever dreamt of or hoped for.  27 years later YHC would do it all over again.  YHC, Zare and M.O.D. are so very lucky.

Thanks to Amen for taking us out, lifting up our prayer requests, etc. but especially for calling forward Gnarly Goat, Bel Air and Bob Ross to kneel in the middle of the COT for a special thanks for their service.  Aye.
