It is no secret that YHC does not like to run, so when the Merkin challenge come around he embraces it completely. If you come to a workout where he is the Q in the month of November, then Merkins are a given.

This morning was one of those strangely cold and dark sunny and 70 mornings, so it was determined that it would be themed on animals that live in the cold.

Strong work was put in by all and Merkin count this morning was between 300 and 350.

It was an honor to lead.

6 Warriors of the Gloom came out for some fun this Thursday morning.

So it’s November so of course Merkins are a big part of the workout. There were some questions as whether our legs would be needed today. YHC made sure to please the crowd with some PLT’s. Your welcome DaVille!

YHC was supposed to Q The Anvil 2 weeks ago, but his M’s sickness had him begging out at the last minute. So, as YHC already had a workout prepared baseball watching was possible. Great to see the Nats win (sorry Glide) their first title. The PAX was awesome today, and Emoji brought the Halloween theme with a red light headlamp that lit his legs up while doing LBC’s like ET’s finger, as noted by Mudface. The SSH during Dora were challenging as the PAX ended up about 20 feet back of where they started due to a slight decline.

Merkin Challenge sheet is up for November, here’s the link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-L8e9W24ygnU0suaGyKxzi1PgPqY1CBd57hLrKTZI-g/edit?fbclid=IwAR1tl11gTibRBc38OGvP7sdmN2kTOpleTQifi8oElayQWFrbxb0LBI_VTYQ&pli=1#gid=2105645288

Dedicated to U.S. Sgt. Zachary D. Tellier, 31, of Charlotte, NC (USA) a combat infantryman with the 4th Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, at Fort Bragg. He died Sept. 29, 2007, of wounds sustained while on a ground patrol in Afghanistan.

The previous April, Tellier’s unit was conducting a mounted patrol when one of its vehicles drove over and detonated a bomb, which set the vehicle on fire, according to a statement from the 82nd Airborne.

Tellier pulled two paratroopers out of the vehicle to safety, suffering severe burns to his hands. He was awarded the Bronze Star Medal with valor for his actions.

After he was burned, Tellier jumped up in the turret to return fire, said Sgt. Michael Layton, a member of Tellier’s unit. A lieutenant made Tellier get out of the vehicle because of his injuries, Layton said.

“Zachary Tellier has to be the biggest hero I’ve ever known or heard of, not just because of what he did, but because of his personality,” Layton said. “He came in the Army because he wanted to be around soldiers and serve his country, and he paid the ultimate sacrifice.”

Tellier is survived by his wife, Sara Tellier of Atlanta, Ga.; his father, David W. Tellier of Groton, Mass.; and his mother, Pamela Rodriguez, of Falmouth, Mass.

No Idea was signed up to Q the Anvil this week, but got a call from his M on the way to the AO to inform him that she was sick. After turning around he passed the Q to YHC along with a picture of the Weinke that he planned to use. His brought up a great conversation about the differences between Excuses and Reasons. This falls into the latter group.

YHC hates trying to run someone else’s workout, especially when it looks like it was written by a 3 year old on a sugar rush.

Hard work was put in by all.

Thank you gentlemen, it was an honor to lead

A lucky 7 showed up to the Anvil for the Thursday morning grind. YHC looked at the Q sheet late last night, saw it was open and not wanting a Hot Potato decided to take on the Anvil and here is what went down.

YHC was surprised to see Opus out since he mentioned his knees were acting up. He rolled in the minivan, mentioned he has been up since 4 and knees feeling better. Just has a precaution, YHC advise him to modify squats with LBC’s. Good to have him out and healthy

While setting up the SF, YHC noticed his glove needed a good cleaning. Opus also noted this wondering what the smell was during the run

Mud Face crushed The Murph. The one of us to get in some sort of run before time had to be called
