Introduction
Some of y’all are getting ready for GTE, come put your training to the test. Rucksacks, weighted vest, or nothing at all – I’ll still whoop that 
Bring sandbags if you have them. Shoes for all surfaces and yes, we’ll be on the 
Warm-O-Rama
Let’s roll!
Pearls on a String style WoR. Slowzy ruck to wake up the legs with WoR exercises along the way. Start at the flags to cafe to tower back to flags.
The Thang
Thang One
Pick up 2 60lb sandbags and 2 40lb sandbags. Form two columns. Work as a team, switch as needed. Head to Indigo parking garage (sauna) stairs.
Stair BC
Take turns carrying bags to and back ladder style. First to 5th floor, with 10 bonnie Blairs (each leg half), 10 squats and 10 merkins.
Whoever didn’t take a bag to the 5th, your turn to the 4th, rinse and repeat.
Switch again to the 3rd, you get the picture.
Floor One – Recover
Ruck back to the flags
Thang Two

Back crawl with ruck in front – Roadtrip Special
Back down

Back down
Form two columns
One row takes both 40lb sandbag and the other the two 60lb sandbags
Both rows toss the bags to the sign and back indian run style.
I saw it was a tie yet others might disagree

Yesterday during Q Source’s King Leadership conversation Dingo reminded me of one of my favorite quotes. I knew it yet not verbatim nor the originator. It got the wheels upstairs turning and I figured it wouldn’t be hard to find. It wasn’t after I googled a few key words.
“Chains of habits are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken.” -Warren Buffet
Dingo used a great analogy and if you missed it good thing you’ve already arrived. The rest of us are still on the learning journey.
I ask myself what habits in my life are too light to be felt yet I know deep inside they’ll have consequences later in life.
Prayers for Carly – Townie’s M celebrating her 50th Birthday, our brother Baby Boss and the two others who passed, our brother Radio Flyer as he recovers from knee surgery, Laimbeer, Hotbox & all those left unspoken.

What a bad ass morning at DT. We had a fire, happy and energetic crew. At the cafe they were enjoying themselves too much so I had to reel them back in. When in charge, TAKE CHARGE. GTE Shhhhhhh!!!
Things got heated pretty quick in those garage stairs. The bags sealed our lips pretty quick as we carried them 15 flights. When we went back to the hill I knew they’d get thrown a curveball. Dingo’s laugh on Mary Lou’s video says it all. Special shout out to HIM, Mary Lou covering our six last minute. Gordon’s had a high fever and smartsacked.
The light dust of snow was the cherry on top the F3 sundae. Next week we’ll be serving families with Love Your Neighbor in Wheaton.
Stop being Less!
Aladdin signing off…
See you @ the TOP!!!
