Moleskin:
Some where along the way we grew from 8 PAX to 9 with the addition of Spielberg who decided to show up in time to watch the credits roll! To his defense, we shortened the COP and sprinted off into the darkness to race the departure of the buses and not a shoe print or a stinky sweat trail to follow thanks to the bus fumes!
Great work by everyone today! Lamont showing some speed with the fast Indian run and the Suicides. Hairband pushing the knee each week and getting stronger everyday. Not a lot of mumblechatter today, maybe the PAX were trying to catch their breath or just quietly questioning my directions while I was trying to catch my breath and call a few audibles!

Thanks to Glass Joe for taking us out in prayer today!
Happy author
I liked the variable on the cheese weave with the karaoke etc., I always get a little concerned being over there on a Friday though. #UCPSSpeedbumps
Good job today, the more you Q the more comfortable you will get with cadence, what works, what doesn’t etc. Doesn’t mean we don’t try new things but you get a better feel for it all.
You have gotten faster and stronger and your leadership is getting better all the time, keep it up!
*** Last Announcement… SHIRTS! Get yours while you can! ***

Aye Agreed! It gets easier and a lot more fun to Q over time.
I seem to enjoy inflicting pain, but not too much pain.
I’m out of Union County until Thanksgiving weekend with a ruck, Qing at Mint Hill Metal, then Dollywood so it’ll be fun to be back with you on the 28th for a full hour.
It’s already been planned somewhat, and it’s gonna be a little different but no less suckage.
Until then, Aye!
I was really impressed to see a lot of guys getting better today. Lamont/CT/Happy joined my Too Fast Line for the Indian Run. Especially Happy who had to sprint to get ahead of me. I didn’t make it easy for you Brother. Not sure if I apologize for that or tell you ‘You’re Welcome’ but I’ve learned the secret to getting faster by chasing after EE. And then Keifer decided to join in for the 2nd one. #F3Strong
This was a really solid Q. Lots of variation so everybody should have been ‘Happy’ and miserable at the same time. Those Scorpion DryDocks and Dragon walk did not make me ‘Happy’.
And yeah, I saw The Count sprinting on those suicides at the end. And Shepherd asking for burpees at the end. And Spielberg not giving up even though he couldn’t find us at first. All around solid gentlemen!!!
Thanks guys! I try to bring in things from other AO that might expand our depth of challenges or take things to the next level. Any mix of heart rate increase and muscle fatigue makes me HAPPY! The WINTER is not the off season, it is the season to get yourself ready for spring growth.
I am on Q at Thrive next tuesday…come out and see what else we can fatigue!
BTW Glass Joe..I think I pulled a hammie trying to catch you on the Indian run.
