    Kubota is leading the Bridge on Saturday.  Fireman Ed will be celebrating the end to chemo.  Convergence at 7 am at Dogpile on New Years Day.

    Prayers up for those dealing with illness or job issues.  God is good all of the time!

    Schools are closed, and most of the PAX believes it will not be necessary.  A solid showing, no man left behind.

    Just a reminder that lunch is tomorrow at Tres Machos.  Still need a volunteer for Breaking Bread on 12/28.  Kubota is leading the Bridge on 12/27. 

    Prayers up for our brothers in need, especially those looking for jobs.  God is good all of the time!

  • Trail of Divots

    Eighteen KB warrior assembled for a weighted journey today at Circus Maximus.  Here is how it went down:

    • COP
      • SSH
      • Ukrainian soldiers
      • IW
      • Helicopters
      • Arm circles
      • DMH
      • Merkins
      • LBC
      • APD
    • KB carry to the band/practice fields for a KB beast:
      • Rifle carry & sit ‘n presses
      • RH waiters carry & high pulls
      • LH waiters carry & curls
      • Death crawls & overhead presses
      • Lunge walks & tricep presses
      • Back carries & lawnmower pulls (each arm)
    • Jog the field
    • KB carry back to the flag for COT with YHC taking us out

    Great to see some familiar faces back at Circus Maximus today and solid work all around.  Mumble-chatter was intense for COP, but it dissipated as the workout progressed.  The biggest challenge of the KB beast is being under weight for so long.  Plenty of divots were left on the turf as KBs were dropped in fatigue. 

    Convergence next week at Mary for Thanksgiving.  Workout starts at 0700. 

    Prayers up for those dealing with sickness/injuries, job searches and family member next week.  God is good all of the time!  Lots to be thankful for.
