Very strong group out there today. I realized that I had a Q failure when our Go Ruck brother showed up before the workout and asked who had canned goods to donate. Everyone looked at him with a blank stare. To add insult to injury we then we proceeded to run 4+ miles that included running up and down the stairs at a parking deck. Chelms (our revered site Q) then informed me as we were fast moseying to Pineville CMC that “Centurion was a boot camp workout not a running workout”. I actually had planned to do more stair running, but ran out of time. One observation – the Mighty Mite/Chelms team killed the stair run. Any other observations are welcome. Also, it was great how PH and Frasier took care of the six. It was an honor to lead today..
Announcements
Brewruck is tomorrow. Check with Dora to see where to take canned goods (since we didn’t bring them today).

Jambo Q never leaves the pax disappointed. The recon work necessary to expand the AO and cover new ground is appreciated. Champagne mentioned he did some swings at home prior to workout, but not sure how Chelms got KB credit. He did, however, send out a tweet yesterday telling several pax to “bring it” to Centurian. #motivation. Purple Haze’s response: “Reminding me to bring it is like reminding me to breath.”
Knowing it is coming does not make it hurt any less. Jamboree delivers another grenade to my lungs. Full disclosure, on the way back I kept looking forward to the six getting far enough behind that we would need to stop and let them catch up. Is that bad? Although, I will take the CMC parking deck over the Palatine any day of the week. Even with the distance we have to travel to get there. Have I ever mentioned that I hate that hill? shall we name the P deck? Jamboree do you have a call sign for your new found pain device?
As soon as TJ introduced himself as being from Spearhead, I wanted to kick myself. I will take the blame on that one. I should have tweeted something out to the Pax yesterday. Every once in a while I need to be reminded that if I do not put something on my Outlook calendar and set a reminder, I will not remember it. Sadly just putting it on the calendar will not get the job done.
