Only the bravest of F3 Concord showed their faces this morning to get physically destroyed. Here’s how it went…

Mosey across Lake Concord Rd to the old bank that I assume is a dentist office now, like everything else over there.

WARM UP

SSH x20ic

Hillbillies x10ic

Loose Change x10ic

Arm Circles

Quad Stretch L/R

Over the river and through the woods to the completely unlit drag strip where we would live our lives a quarter mile at a time.

THANG

Quarter Mile Ladder

20 merkins

Bitch about it

Run to the other end of the strip for 20 core killers in cadence

Bitch about it

Repeato, reducing the reps by 2 each round

Complete the cycle down to 10 reps, the Q had to enforce the Ranger Creed and leave no man behind which was a challenge because you guys wanted worse than my kids

Run back across the street all the way to the darkness of the pull-up bars to burn out our last few minutes

5 pull-ups, 5 hanging knee raises

Low flutters x10ic

Repeat until time called

MARY

PR inspired stretching

PRAYERS

F3 CARPEX Chipper, a very fit dude who went into cardiac arrest at a beat down and had to be revived. Now responsive in the hospital finally, but a long way to go.

Tombstone’s mom, besides the obvious reasons also because she goes under the knife tomorrow morning

Hipbone as he travels abroad

Tom Daniel, from my Meals on Wheels route who just passed away. A graduate and die hard fan of the Virginia Tech Hokies who was always such a joy to talk to. As Hops goes to his first VT game tonight with FC, I hope the pull it out for Tom.

MOLESKIN

I took the Q today because I’ve been struggling with a lot the last couple weeks and there’s no medicine like a good Q. Two fitting things for me this morning, that weren’t even planned:

1. Nary a streetlight was working this morning, creating pitch black darkness.
2. Our eyes adjusted just enough to follow each other through it.

Life works that way too. The darkness can overcome you, even hopelessly envelope you. But if you hang in there your eyes will adjust, and if you stick together you can lead each other through it. Keep picking each other up and leading each other through it. And live your lives a quarter mile at a time, like Dom Toretto.

Happy Fall Y’all!
