As promised in the pre-blast, a dozen PAX braved the nasty humidity and crushed a 2 mile tour of Olde Cornelius with pain stations along the way. We hit Cain Center, Food Lion Legion Park and a few other stops which included plenty of helpings of merkins, squats and dips. PAX would avoid burpees (well not really) by answering two tennis trivia questions related to the US Open – fastest serve (147 mph) and 3 Americans left in the tourney. After successfully answering the questions, Goat mentioned Evonne Goolagong, a former world #1 from Australia. She is now 72 year old and attributes her longevity to eating grilled Koala Bear three times a week. Rumor has it that Ms Goolagong founded Outback restaurants back in the 80’s.
Overall it was a solid morning with challenging conditions given the humidity. Great having Blackbeard and BelAir join us for their mall walking adventure-awesome guys!
awesome having Black Flag with us as he transitions to LKN – he is FNG-1 from Metro
Pray for OshKosh and his upcoming medical mission in Nepal with MacBeth joining him for some serious hiking adventures. Look for the meal train for Toby and keep him and his family in your prayers during this difficult time.
thanks to Canuck for closing us in prayer this AM
Always honored and encouraged to be with you guys in the gloom – YHC can’t do this alone (as we’re not supposed to) grateful for each of you
Humbly in Christ

My 70’s and 80’s affinity for Aussie cuties such as Evonne and Olivia knew no bounds.
MMM…grilled Koala Bear…
Fantastic workout today, sir. I hated it!
I never thought of Evonne as a cutie, but I met Chrissy Evert in Delray Beach once and I didn’t wash my hand for the rest of the day. Olivia Newton John was definitely on my list, though! Did you know that Evonne was indigenous? I just learned that!
