Ground Zero Revenge of the Sixth

AO: Ground Zero
Q: Mr Roboto ,
PAX: Mr. Bean, Mr Roboto, Stock boy, Audible, Manhole, Cheap Shot FNGs:
COUNT: 6
WOR:
I don’t know because I wasn’t there. I have to assume SSHs and Abe Vigodas and/or Tappy Taps were involved.

The Thang:
The PAX that showed up on time rucked east toward my house. I woke up in a panic at 5:37am.

The PAX continued to ruck toward my house. I frantically put my shoes on and rushed out to the car.

The PAX made their way across Main Street. I made my way across Main Street going the other way.

The PAX turned south on Washington and neared my house. I arrived at ao_ground_zero and chose to call an Audible—literally—to find out what direction everyone went.

The PAX answered my call to say they were going to take a picture in front of my house. I informed them I was not there and would meet them at the end.

We all continued our rucks and met up at the flag at 6:15 because, you know “Something, something…end on time.”

Moleskine:
If you have kids, make memories with them.

AO: Dark Room
Q: Toto ,
PAX: Tortuga, Flower Boy, Manhole, LeMond, Lakers, Beaker, Toto, Jolly, Banks, Crack, Brainfog, Framed FNGs: None
COUNT: 12
WOR: 20 side-straddle hops, 20 imperial walkers, 20 mountain climbers, 20 BBSUs

The Thang:
1. Scout run to Gazebo, derkins spittoon to 300, dips spittoon to 600, 30 pickel pointers.
2. Scout run (long way) to fork in trail, squats spittoon to 400, LBCs spittoon to 400, plank while each PAX counts down from 10. 3. Mosey to Hacksaw, halfway up the hill do 20 incline BBSUs (in cadence).
4. On top of the ridge: Burpee spittoon to 400 – but after each 10, crab walk or roll to the bottom, 10 leg lifts, then bear crawl back to the top. 5. Scout run to Looties, 10 BBSUs, Merry.

Moleskine: Two observations from re-reading the last 5 years of my prayer journals. 1. Long gaps in my entries are inevitably followed by something very negative. Regular connection with God keeps me mentally and emotionally healthy, and helps me act in ways of which I can be proud. 2. It’s easier to admit when I seriously messed up, but harder to admit that I’m struggling when I appear fine. Being honest with someone else, when my mind is in not in a good place, can prevent help prevent doing things I regret.
