Not Listed was Flo. Sign up on the site brother!
It was a beautiful morning in the gloom where 6 brothers embarked on a journey of slaying dragons, demons and whatever else came in their way. Today is a special day for me as it marks my wedding anniversary. A great way to honor the M and I is to dish out a little pain to the unsuspecting Pax…and YHC. With bells in hand…we were ready to kick start the shenanigans.

The Pax certainly put in the work today. It may not look like much reading the BB, but when you start getting into 15/20 reps with the bells, especially the 45 OB was wheeling, you feel it.
Never thought I would say this but actually enjoyed the running in between…I think the Pax concur.
Some grumbling when mentioned work on Hell’s Ascent…Some griping when mentioned burpees involved…I doubt Bunyon complained. Hey, could have been a lot worse! Trust me!
Congrats to LaBon on taking over the MQ of Mad Scientist. Start signing up to Q.
Great individual work by Over Budget, Bandwagon, Flo, LaBon and Bunyon…appreciate you showing up and sharpening the iron.
Obviously there was a little pattern for today’s ton of fun. Today is 10/20 and the M and I have been married for 15 years. Hence 10/20/15. We don’t have many days we get to “celebrate” but this is certainly one of them as difficult as it may be. Needless to say we have been through a lot, especially these past 5+ months but we are blessed to have each other. Love you babe.
And I am blessed to have all you brothers. Truly appreciate the support, even for those who are afraid to show up to an Olive Q! 😉
