Introduction
The PAX arrived early prepping their distances & spaces for the quest of a 3-Peat against there arch-rival F3 Louisville who apparently did not get the hint after we doubled up their mileage last week. I gave some quick instructions & we are off to a quick warm-a-rama. After 1 final explanation & the Beastie Boys blaring in the garage the PAX were off for a little Honey Badger Bert.
The groans & sounds were load as the HIMs completed the exercises & 400 M in between (I never want to do a hand release merkin again in my life). Uncle Rico who ate his Wheaties this morning came crawling in first at just over 39 minutes with Blues Clues channeling is inner Ultimate Warrior to complete 2nd at just over 42 minutes. With TPS, Webelos, & I struggling to finish through burpees we could not stop staring at Uncle Rico’s full face in the camera screaming at us not to quit.
The HIMs set out on some 11’s to keep busy as they cheered on Pork Rinds who was grinding through his final burpees & like he had it planned all along he made his final clap as the HIMs prepared for Mary.
The team knocked out some quick LBCs, American Hammers, & some planks before they called it quits. Pork Rinds & Rico stuck around for some coffee while the other HIMs dragged their wounded bodies into their houses for nourishment (little Smithfield bacon for me to honor my Site Q Pork Rinds).

CoT:
I must admit men this has been the hardest week yet during COVID-19. Until now for me there was the excitement building to Easter having achieved my Lenten goal & quite possibly being in the best shape of my life coming off running the farthest I ever have against Louisville last week. Then the reality of Monday hit. I cheated on some cake for three nights in a row & snacked on Easter candy throughout the day. The weather was crappy & did not get the kids out in the afternoons on our normal walks. My wife about hit her breaking point on homeschooling & then the announcement yesterday about schools being closed for the school year almost sent her over the edge. There is only 1 constant for me right now & it is this right here. Something I look forward to every night before I lay my head down. A chance to see some of my F3 brothers many of whom I have never met live. You cause me to get out of bed every day & continue to push myself. It is hard doing virtual & it is not easy but I implore you to continue to do it b/c it means a lot to me & I am sure others who use this time as their “sanity” check for the week. We need you but we need more brothers. There are other HIMs out there who need this so get your EH game on & reach out to a fellow brother who has not been out & encourage them to join. Aye!
Dear lord thank you for this opportunity to wake up early in the gloom & experience your greatness. We are humbled for the opportunity you give us every day to be in your glory & serve you as leaders in our community. Watch over those that are not as fortunate as many of us & give them healing & strength in their struggles. In your name we pray. Amen!
