The Final Ponch of Winter ❄️➡️☀️

The final Ponch-led beatdown of the winter kicked off under a dark, quiet sky, the kind where the world is still asleep but the stars are putting on a show. It had that calm-before-the-storm feel… and then…

Man Down.

Mid-mosey, Woodsman went down—sprained ankle, Wounded in Action. Immediate respect to the PAX for rallying, checking on him, and making sure he was squared away. Wildcat came through with the ambulance and doctoral expertise. Woodsman, heal up brother, we’ll hold the line until you’re back. 💪,

The mood started gloomy, dark, a little heavy… but like all good mornings in the gloom, we got to work anyway.

The Thang

After a brief stretch warm-up, we mosied along and got to what Nancy dubbed it a “Beach Body Workout”… and he wasn’t wrong.

Summer is coming, men. Whether you’re ready or not.

No music. No distractions. Just breath, grit, and the sound of feet hitting pavement.

🧠 Moleskin

What started as a dark, uncertain morning turned into a reminder:

Even when things don’t start right… you keep moving.

  • We lose a man early → we adapt
  • It’s cold, dark → we push anyway
  • Legs tired → we climb the hill

That’s the work.

And those stars overhead? Beauty!

Just a reminder that even in the darkest moments, there’s still light if you look up.

🙏 COT

  • Strength prayers for Warby, Swoop, and Crab Grass as they take on their thang this weekend—go get it.
  • Prayers for Woodsman—quick recovery, brother. We’ll be ready when you return.

Honored to lead the final Ponch beatdown of the winter.

Spring’s coming… and so is the next level.
