COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: Coach K, Teasip, Pepper, Oo-De-Lally, AlrightAlright
QIC: F150

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
F150 shared about how Jesus revealed Himself to women first at the resurrection and sent them as the first evangelist to tell about His resurrection. We are to honor the women in our lives…our spouse, mother, those we work with, those some date, and women in general. It will catch them off guard when we desire to be men that lead and honor them with nothing expected in return. BE MEN HONOR WOMEN! They were made in God’s image as well.

MOLESKIN:
There was much mumblechatter this gloom and it started right out of the gates with the counting of F150…thinking through the Imperial Lunges could have been better. When the dice came out and each of the PAX learned what each of the colors meant there was someone (AlrightAlright) desiring Bear Crawls. At one point there was a concern by the Q and some PAX mentioned that the dice might be weighted as the same exercise came up multiple times, Q Omaha’d to give some variety when the 4thCrowd Pleaser came up. Coach K reminded the PAX of the counting ability of F150 and AlrightAlright brought up the penalty burpees encouraged by F150 for a missing shovel flag on Tuesday’s beatdown. Coach K was not appreciative of the penalty burpees obviously…#wegetbetteritnevergetseasier. It could have been that Coach K was just ornery because the PAX were enjoying our Bobby Hurley expercise.

The stairs were used on most returns to the first level to roll the dice again. However, the PAX asked to run down the ramps instead of being stuck in the stale air of the stairs and something about gas of other PAX.

Overall a great workout in the gloom!

MOLESKIN:
YHC immediately wondered where Pepper was while the PAX were circling up at the beginning. Pepper had HC’ed to the Q the night before. He was nowhere to be found.

The PAX got off to a really slow start on the initial mosey, YHC had to do some encouraging to speed them up.

There was not a whole lot of room for #mumblechatter during The Mustang as all of the PAX were sucking wind the whole time.

Ina almost got us lost on the Native American Run. Not quite sure how.

The look on F-150’s face when YHC called for back to back rounds of burpees was priceless.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
AlrightAlright prayed us out. Praying that God would help us to be leaders for Him in everything that we do.

MOLESKIN:
Such a great day to get out in the gloom with the men of F3 Dallas. This morning counting/deciding on how to count was a struggle early on, however Splash got the men together by the end. There was a good bit of mummblechatter about the closeness of partners in some of the beatdown, but it made for a great workout. While upon the tennis court F150 kept dropping Boney Express…nice initiation.

While doing flutter kicks our beloved Pepper was mentioned, but the PAX quickly recalled that it was not his Q so attendance questionable…it was mentioned that he was to bring an FNG with him but the PAX never saw either. Great morning to have two Willy Lomans join us – Don’tChaKnow and Rocket Man and to have RESPECT for Boney Express for joining us and being excited to get Sad Clowns from SMU to join us in the gloom.

At one point Aaarrrggghhh shared how a particular door to a home looked to be very welcoming and almost like it says “come on in.” He quickly points this house out on most moseys down Caruth Blvd.

MOLESKIN:
Some annoyance with the Burpees though the blame should fall to the flag owner for not ensuring the flag would be at the workout. Not much complaining again until the Suicide Ladder where the PAX seemed to think they got their shoulder work in for the week. Got to see the rare sight of Pepper showing up for a workout where he didn’t Q.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Shout out to Oompa Loompa for joining us from Charlotte. Great seeing Waterboy back out there.

Shout outs to Rabbit for joining us from Memphis. Wishing him a good time in Dallas with his family and safe travels home.

MOLESKIN:
Still can’t lead a running Q without some heavy criticisms about the vageniscus and missing the Thursday run. Though PAX can vote on whether working till 5am or running the Katy Trail is worse. The PAX calling out BOOMER is appropriate here.

Not too much chatter other than the usual complaints about dainty hands during the bear crawls and the Qs tendency to lie about the quantity of bear crawls. YHC made no such promises today. Some PAX relived the pain of a notorious Indian Run race at the end of #katytrailthursday.

Apparently the efficacy of snips ✂✂✂ is not as sure as one might hope. How this came up naturally during the workout is unknown.

Unfortunately there wasn’t any rain like YHC wanted, but the weather was perfect otherwise.
