MOLESKIN (OR RACOON SKIN)
IMO everyone should Q a workout within 3-6 months of coming as a FNG. When I was asked to Q last week I almost wet my pants. I never finish near the front of the pack, I usually have no clue who anyone else is & as soon as the workout is over I’m ready to leave. But Q-ing changed that today. My adrenaline kicked in about 2:30 this morning & I couldn’t sleep for fear of fart sacking on the day I was called to Q. It’s a healthy weight placed on the shoulders of the Q as I knew I had to push 20-30 men who were more fit, experienced & my elder. While Q-ing today I didn’t get out of breath, or fatigued once. I’m sure it’ll catch up to me around 9:00am or so. But I felt like I was able to lead men. And sure, it’s only a workout but that translates. If I can lead men at 5:30am through a workout that I can typically barely complete myself, I instantly feel equipped to lead my family better. I instantly feel like I can be a better leader in my work place. And I feel that I can lead better for Christ.
So thanks so much for the opportunity to Q this morning. I can’t wait for the next time. And I also can’t wait to not be able to feel my arms around 9:00am this morning when the adrenaline wears off.

Skunkworks will be sponsoring a hole at the golf tourney, we committed to $100 but can do more. I will collect cash and pay out. Already have Chanel, Cottonmouth and me. Easiest way to get me cash is to send it electronically (don’t be afraid of technology). If you bank with Wells Fargo or Bank of America, you can go online and look for something called SurePay, send the payment to my email at grant.jordan@wellsfargo.com, you will need to put in name as Michael Jordan (just like the hoops player). Sound off if you plan to just give me cash.
That was a great beatdown!
Something I need to keep a mental note of though… A slow runner like me should not team up with Swiss Miss on catch me if you can type things. I was trying to catch up and thought I passed him in the gloom when I passed a crowd, then realized he was about 20 yards ahead of everyone!
Outside of that it was a great kb workout, Goblet squat/backward run created a lot of chatter and Jack Webbs at the end was brutal.
Country…nice Q brother. I especially appreciate all the bicep work…I’ve got a 55lbs KB with your name on it when you are ready! It was also nice to hear how you felt in your second Q today and it was nice to witness. We are that the “Q Adrenaline”…#beastmode. It’s a great high boost you get when leading. Needless-to-say, I’ll be stealing your Overhead Press/Bicep Curl Jack Webb for Olympus on Sat (Olympus Plug…if you want a full hour-long Kettle Bell beat down, come out and see what we are all about…Elizabeth Lane Elementary 07:00).
T-Claps to Brown who not only posted after having Flu, but decided to step up the KB to 50Lbs. Take note…if the Pax wants Guns then upgrade those bells :).
Finally, about the Brew Ruck. I said I’d post information. You don’t need to be a Rucker at all. You can come out for all or a portion of the event. We have partnered with Second Harvest Food Bank and will be running a canned food drive that day. So come Ruck for a purpose, May 17th, 11;00 launching from Olde Mecklenburg Brewery. Check out our Facebook page and let us know if you are interested in coming.
