A lucky 7 this am for a mettle beatdown where the PAX held on dearly to their KB.  As matter of facts, the KB never left the PAX hands or touch the ground except for KB merkins.  PAX even held KB during warmarama.  As YHC was driving to the AO, @snape put on his turning signal as if he was turning into @brinkley and @barrister hood.  He then changed his mind and kept going to the golf course.  He admitted later that it was a brain freeze, but it could have also been due to the fact that he did the same beatdown with YHC in early June and had second thoughts.  @pony boy was not scared since he even ran a few miles before the beatdown and looked really strong during the beatdown as he prepares for BRR (not to be confused with PBR) even thought they both sucks (YHC’s humble opinion).  As the clock struck 6:30, we first heard and then saw @sandbag turning into the parking lot on 2 wheels.  @sparky beat everyone there first with a 5:25 am appearance to then realized the time is now 6:30.  He didn’t wait for the PAX but instead hauled a$$ back to Skywalker and tried catching up with the runners.  YHC doesn’t know if it was successful or not but would have been nice to have @sparky with us today.  Full disclaimer was given which also included reminder about COVID-19 climbing positive numbers and importance to remind one another of social distancing during beatdowns.  As promised, there were no running but very slow mosey around parking lot doing air presses and butt kickers leading to warmarama.

• Thanks for the PAX to joining today. This was pretty difficult for YHC following week of vacation which included beatdown at F3 St Simons’ Island and a few other solo beatdowns.  But there is no denying that YHC doesn’t push himself to the same level as he does with his brudders.
• Thanks for @disaster for a “run by” this morning.  He could have used his massive headphone as KB but opted to keep on running.
• Wishing @powerball great success to the LNC class of 2020 ceremony.  Certainly not an ideal situation, but it is what it is and all we can do is make the best out of it.  Will never pleased everyone.
• There were a few request for a return of the Trailer of Pain.  Unfortunately with the Covid numbers back on the rise, we will not be sharing coupons at this time.  We also encourage the PAX to hold each other accountable with social distancing and the Qs to keep remind PAX as part of the disclaimer.
• Highland numbers continue to be strong even during time where people take vacation.  Please reach out to PAX we have not seen in a while.  Some of them simply need that extra motivation and accountability.
• We are looking at new or repeat challenges for August.  Please share some of your ideas.
• We might have another competition between AOs to see who can EH the most FNG for August.  With gym closures and people getting cabin fever, this could be a good time to EH some folks.  But be mindful that you might have some questions or raise some eyebrows  due to Covid and encouraging people to workout in group.  We have to be respecfull of some of the concerns but also be confident in explaining our social distancing protocol.
• Please sign up to Q.  You will feel good about it afterward.   We are all leaders so let’s use that gift to lead the PAX.  If you haven’t in a while or never Q’ed before, then let’s practice what i preach to my selling team.  “Be brave enough to suck at something new!”.
• As always, it was a pleasure leading this group.
