4 uncommonly handsome met gathered at the crossing of life and sweat. With HP’s knee bothering him we decided to chill the pace and leave modification wide open. In true Pearls fashion the PAX stopped 26 times circumventing the church grounds to bang out reps (usually 20 IC) for every letter of the alphabet. After the NoToll shoulderfest it was a pleasure to keep a slowsy vibe and of course the conversation with old friends was sublime. God is good all the time! Yours, DTH
The Forge turned into a full-blown casino of pain this morning—except the house always wins, and the house wanted burpees. We started with a dice-rolling gauntlet where every number brought a new flavor of exercise, followed by sprint ladders that made sure no muscle was left behind. Just when PAX thought it was winding down, we hit the hills for bear crawls and heels to heaven. The Thang: Warmerama: side straddle hops, ukranian soldiers, imperial squat walkers, cherry pickers, lbcs, alabama prom dates, roscoe’s mom COP 1: Roll the dice: One PAX rolls oversized dice and runs a lap around…

Having gotten the memo, 3 gloom stallions descended upon Pocahontas MS, all donning bright orange shirts. The clock struck 5:30am and like Dutch Olympians going for gold, we were off. COT consisted of some SSHs, arm circles, cherry pickers, DQs, Mt climbers, WWIIs & a 60-second leg hold while YHC defined today’s version of BLIMPS (5 Burpees, 5 Lt.

What do you do when the guy who’s been holding your ruck gear no-shows? Load up an extra bag with a set of heavy bocce balls and roll out in style to the jolly cadence of balls clacking. Nice to catch up with PR and Scram and get to know Bru. Rocked out a little over 3 miles through Larus trails and Stony Point Fashion Park. Deep conversation followed at Einstein along theological lines. God is good all the time! Yours AYE! ~DTH
6 HIMs skipped the coffee on a warm morning and got to work! Rudy needed a minute so we did a quick lap around the block, rendezvoused, and off we went. Travelled to the depths of Bayfront, swung by Studfinder’s cul-de-sac, then up and around Alamo and back to the start. Just short of 3.5 miles. Today we pondered how effective the Paw Patrol would be in real life without having thumbs; would Donald Duck really eat turkey on Thanksgiving; Matlock took notes of Rudy’s hot takes on the Broncos upcoming 6-11 season; and how we can use ice cream…
