Introduction
Patchouli, Sputnik, Riunite and YHC ran a 2 mile Was great to hear about Riunite‘s experience in St. Louis at GrowRuck. If you get a chance to hear one of the HIMs stories, it may inspire you, it may scare you, but ultimately this is F3s primary LDP and one we should all strive to experience, learn and grow from. Patchouli is a hard maybe 😂.
A few old faces making appearances at IL today, great to see Wetwipe, Dr Ralph, @@, Canoli and Spork making it to IL.

mosey to HS parking lot with coupons, hold “leaning forward rest position” until six is in. Complete 15 merkins. Group looked good during these, YHC was positioned at the end of the line to get a good look down the line. Solid work there, got amped, to the fields.
The Thang
Thang 1 – 10 min
100 yard run 15 merkins, run back, 15 big boys 100 yard run,15 squats in cadence, run back 15 merkins. Some guys sucking wind after the 4 sprints, Patchouli got faster each run. I was thinking of WW cursing me, the FNG wondering what is going on, Ralph and a few others got yelled at for walking across the finish line. Dr Ralph’s so nice, he’s hard to yell at, but exhortation had to be used today.

Thang 3
Speaker City got hurt so we had 12, perfect. That’s a little nugget for the gambling ring. 3v3 full court basketball. Got in a full round robin of 3, 3 minute games. A lot of 2 on 1s in that last game 😀. Great effort by all, we’re are not basketball players but it’s really not about the basketball anyway.
Circle of Trust
Prayers to a PAX that recently passed in Houston. Shared thoughts on a new book YHC is reading, Turning Pro, it’s a deep book, one that challenges you and smacks you in the face a little bit to wake up. YHC feels awake but but this is like smelling salt for the mind.
Naked Man Moleskin
Great group today, everyone pushed it and probably did a few things they weren’t thrilled to do but the tone was set by the group. Basketball at the end was fun, take advantage and of the daylight while it’s here. We return the gloom soon enough.
