It was a mild foggy morning in the gloom. Visibility was low, but spirits were high. Warm-up began 0530.
FNG is “Topham”. Welcome brother!
Warm-up

We then moseyed to the track and did a warm-up lap, after which each PAX partnered up. After much delay, technical difficulty, and consternation, the sweet sound of Tammy Wynette began to fill the AO.
Beatdown
At the near end of the track, each PAX pair began the first Tammy set;
Tammy Wynette Set #1:
PAX #1 20x Merkins (OYO); while,
PAX #2 20x Squats (OYO)
and then alternate.
Run down the track in opposite directions and then meet each other down at the other side. Once partners meet, they will commence the second Tammy Wynette set;
Tammy Wynette Set #2:
PAX #1 20x LBCs (OYO); while,
PAX #2 Al Gore until PAX #1 is done
and then alternate.
Run back in opposite directions to the starting point.
REPEAT until Tammy gets done singing.

Reflection:
This week, Lightbulb quoted Marcus Aurelius (Roman Emperor) on Slack who said,
“How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.”, which reminded me of thes verses in James;
James 1:19-20 – Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.
Being offended or angered is a choice. We can’t control what goes on around us, but we should be able to control how we react.
