Today we will do things a little different.  There was an open slot on the Q calendar for this morning and even after many attempts of YHC reaching out for a Q, no one came forward.  So, it’s my responsibility as AO lead and site Q to fill the spot when empty.  What will I do?  I have an idea!!

A while ago we used to celebrate our military brothers and sisters by hosting a beatdown every Friday called “Red Friday”. RED = Remember Everyone Deployed.  It would be a WOD (Workout Of The Day) in honor of a fallen soldier.  Today we will do one of my favorites called “7’s”.  My first rendition of this was at Concord with Catfish at the helm.  It kicked my arse then and probably will today too.

I showed up at 0525, planted the flag, gave a very lousy disclaimer and off we went.  Fast mosey over to the creek area to p/u a coupon (rock).  Then, mosey over to the handball courts (behind the mulch pile). We then proceeded with a little…

• As you can see, we have many open Q spots for the week and the month.  I have been struggling on how to fill the slots lately but was enlightened by the group this morning with their solution.  So, look on the Google calendar for your name and be ready to Q!  If you can’t do it, reach out to me but just DON’T show.  Remember, we are FREE men’s workout group, the only cost is to be a leader once in a while.  AYE!
• Hornet – strong work throughout the 7’s today and a mighty sprint at the end!  I’m telling you, you are getting stronger brother!
