I’ve been missing my home AO way too much lately so tomorrow I’m coming back to dish out a nice

Let’s ROLL
The Thang
Turf Field on West St (Slow mosey)
Circle up in the middle 0f the field
Mountain Merkins while we waited for the six
Thang One – Wave of Merkins
Wave of Merkins
Circle up, get into plank position, first person does one merkin, then the next person to the right does a merkin, should look like a wave flowing around the circle, until you get back to the first person who then performs 2 merkins, repeat all the way up to 10 and back down. Stay in plank position the entire time.
I modified and didn’t come back down once we got to 10.
Thang Two – Black Jack
Black Jack
Start on the sideline of a football field. Perform 1 Merkin – run to other sideline – perform 20 LBCs. Run back and do 2 Merkins. Run back for 19 LBCs. Repeat until you do 20 Merkins and 1 LBC, running between the sidelines. Always adds up to 21 – BLACK JACK!
I called Recover a little more than half way through for sake of time (I realized after I could of pushed it another minute or two)

“You Can Have Everything In Life You Want, If You Will Just Help Enough Other People Get What They Want.” –Zig Ziglar
I shared with the PAX my love of Zig Ziglar. I’ve been a fan for about 13 years now. I shared with them my favorite quote of his I most often try to apply in my life. Whether it be business, workplace, family, or friends. Have I earned the right? That’s another question I tie with this quote. I encouraged the PAX to use it or not however they see fit throughout their week.
Prayers for BR, Zubaz’s Mom, Clearcoat & M, our country, all those getting crushed by inflation and all those unspoken.

It was good to be HOME. The last few Q’s this way have been mostly Q Schools, I even considered hosting another today. Instead I said to myself,”how about you actually show them I know how to Q (at least I believe I do).” I think I delivered. I kept it simple, right off the https://f3nation.com/exicon/?gv_search=&filter_10=&mode=any as I normally do. Simple not EASY. Starting with Slaughter I hope delivered that message. The turf field at DT & LP are GOLD. As I pulled in hot for EC my achilles pain was at a level 8-9. I wanted to sit the EC out yet also didn’t want to punk out. I hung in there and it actually helped loosen it up. Shout out to Putt Putt, A Gloop and Lightfoot. Overall everyone held good form and each PAX kept the bar high. I’ve been focused out West a lot yet I’m making it a personal goal to post at DT at a minimum of twice a week. Like MJ said, IM BACK! Plus it was hard not to Q on a Monday with the BEST SQ in the BIZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!
Aladdin signing off…
See you @ the TOP!
