Prayer Requests for Gumbo’s daughter/ MRI today for Concussion, She’s a Champ and will rock it!!

Awesome news from MR. Roper – his son passed his welding test, he is now officially certified!  Congrats!

NMS:

So with Wilson and YHC getting a pre ruck in, we were able to scout out the AO and how the recent storm had effected Timberwolf.  On our very slow ruck we discovered that we now know why CPS is still out, tons of ice everywhere. Once the PAX was walking to drier spots, Mr. Roper informed us we could have just gone to the mall and walked laps in the warm heated building.  From there the conversation took a 40 minute turn into naming all the stores that were always there, fashion trends, and restaurants we all grew seeing at the malls in the 80s and 90s.  The workout was great with limited spots to pull from.  Everyone crushed it and YHC appreciates the PAX for understanding safety is key.  I will list a few of the topics and mall trends we discussed below, feel free to throw in your favorite mall store as a kid, this morning was a great walk down memory lane!  See you boys in the Gloom!

It was great to almost hit double digits this morning at Timberwolf.  Also great to see Cerranno back out this morning as well, he may have picked the coldest of the winter so far to re-join us, strong work.  Great pairing up with DK and Bullseye, appreciate the push fellas.  Rosie flew around the school and set the pace for Honeymoon and Wilson to try and match his time, all 3 crushed it.  Oyster and Beaker also braved the cold this morning and rocked out the triple check with Cerrano.  I appreciate you guys allowing me to lead and not moaning too much about the lengthy run.  Always an honor gents!  Reach out to someone today who may need an extra little light in their lives!  Have a great one, see you in the gloom boys!

Awesome morning gents!  Welcome to FNG Gatekeeper, you crushed your first day. TCI Claps to DK for continuing to EH, well done brother.  Also great to see Bullseye, Beaker, and Peaches out as well.  All 3 men have become regulars, to the point where the PAX discovered this morning that it is time for Bullseye to get on the Q sheet!  There was an odd odor this morning at T’wolf though, oh wait, Wilson just didn’t fart, the air was clean and fresh today!!  Just kidding, strong work by Wilson and Honeymoon as well! Mumble chatter was great, I’m sure i missed some trying to warm up, so feel free to add.   Honor to lead this morning gents, appreciate the opportunity and the push to get better!.

So much happened in this short 45 mins the 5 of us were at the AO that i’ve decided to bullet point it to summarize:

• Respect to Rosie and Gumbo for knocking out their miles before posting
• WIlson and Marmaduke may have witnessed a body dumping occur before workout, keep eyes on news channels today
• Rosie has admitted he knows what exercises to expect from a M’Duke COP – NOTED
• The gates being open at TImberwolf create a real danger for cars coming through, not really, but we are jumped when car came around the corner
• Old Glory still is painful on a smaller lot and for only 7 mins
• Rosie smoked the PAX on all segments – Gumbo wins the line of the day -from National Lampoons – “Im like the dog in the movie – Poor little guy probably tried to keep up for the first mile or so” . Well played Gumbo!
• Women walking up on 5 random guys doing box cutters at a middle school at 545am – Probably not going to get the “Good Morning” comment reciprocated
• Wilson’s farts still smell no matter how cold it is outside
• Wilson as we held 6 inches made the PAX call out their favorite donut – Best answer goes to Oyster – Simply Stated – DONUTS – game over!!
• Oyster learned not to pass Q to Rosie – not what the PAX wanted to hear with 7 mins left in the workout
• YHC learned that doing a crunchy frog on an incline is not possible at his weight and body shape, decline is much easier
• All PAX made themselves better by not only  posting this morning, but also leading at some point.

Have a great day men!  It was an awesome morning in the cold!

Marmaduke!

First of all welcome to our PAX brother from Mobile Alabama, it was great to have you out this morning PEW.  The Mobile F3 has been up and running for a couple of months now and they are leading on their own for the first time this SAT, awesome stuff and we wish them the best of luck, you guys will crush it.  Great to see Sparky back out this morning at Timberwolf.  The SOJ crew has passed the rule that he can no longer Q with coupons until he takes the pain to another AO first before returning back to Timberwolf, Sparky is up for the challenge so keep an eye on the Q sheet.  Gumbo and Rosie demolished the 11s like it was a walk in the park, way to work fellas. Beaker is getting stronger and faster and its awesome to see is growth and commitment, keep it up!  Always great to partner with Oyster and YHC loves the mumblechatter that comes along with it, and if youd dint know, Oyster is fast.  Strong work this morning fellas, its an honor as always to be allowed to lead this group.  make it a great day and be a beacon of light for someone who needs it today!  See you in the gloom!

With the Q sheet blank it was quite the interesting morning.  Lots of mumble chatter, mainly Wilson reminding us throughout the morning that the Bills play tonight, albeit the final preseason game, he is excited.  The hot potato Q was fun, Mr. Roper certainly added to that with the 5 man triple check, still not sure what we did there but everyone was moving and sweating so all good.  Great morning to get out and sweat gents, strong work!  Have a great holiday weekend and be safe in wherever your travels may take you and the family!
