Introduction
Pre-Blast: “Bring your coupon. We’ll be staying on the pavement for shuttle runs. Earn the extra food and drinks that come with a long weekend. HC and join me out west at Black Panther.”
If you drove past Black Panther this morning, you’d swear it was defensive lineman OTAs. The big guys came out this morning, and we all got stronger. This was my first Saturday morning Q – so I forgot that we go an hour. Had to improvise a few exercises towards the end…I think it worked.

Thang 3: Lunge Walk (back to the parking lot) – When I announced this exercise, Carmen SanDiego threatened to body slam me…
- Using the cones from our shuttle runs. Lunge walk to the first cone, turn around a jog back. Continue this process until time is called

Name-O-Rama
I have been thinking a lot about the power of SECOND CHANCES. There is power in the grace of a second chance. As some know, I spend my week working with homeless teens and young adults from the greater Naperville area – helping them with transitional housing and eventually finding permanent housing of their own, while we also help them with life skills, mentoring, and finding a job and/or finishing education. I have witnessed the power of a second chance first hand through these individuals. I have also experienced it first hand in my own life. I’m sure we can all make a list of the times we’ve fallen on our face, sometimes from our own doing and sometimes by circumstances beyond our control or influence. That’s the beauty of grace – getting to get up and doing it better the next time. The best people in our life are the people who offer grace and a second chance. We can do that for others too. Let’s be people of SECOND CHANCES – offering it to others and taking advantage of it for ourselves. We’ll find power in that way of life.

Shoutout to all the big guys coming out for this beatdown.
The pre-blast for today’s beatdown at Dark Tower talked about probably burning 700 calories. That’s cute. I think pax at Black Panther recorded 800+ calorie burns.
Thank you Judge Smails for having my 6, and shoutout to Ken Doll for being a great dora partner.
