Introduction
Had the day off to relax and get some well-rested sleep. I ate my dinner early and went to bed early with my mind already determined to set the standards high for myself to give another great Q. As it came time to wake up I tossed my clothes on grabbed my speaker for music and already had the coupon in the car waiting to go. As I started to head to Holy Hill around 4:50 I drove past the Citadel to see the parking lot empty, where were the EC runners but I guess since it was an RC day there was no need for an EC; As I continued my drive I was listening to some motivational music to pump me up. When I reached Holy Hill, Blow Dry was there early and as I got out he got out and welcomed me and I started to give him an idea of what the thang was for today. He told me he had another FNG, I guess being a barber is the best way to EH these men to come out keep up the work Blow Dry. As Blow Dry went to do a small EC on his own Judge Smails came and pointed out that the main hill was really icy so I modified the hill to the small hill on the side of the church for part of my thang. Once everyone showed up we started our WoR.

As I stated in my PreBlast if you did not join me on the 1st and 6th of the month today was your lucky day to learn the new game I am using for some of my Q ideas.
We played dice for 45min, what workout the dice landed on we did and ran to the hill to do 5 burpees.
As we continued the dice game we continued to run to the hill and increase the burpees by 5 until we got to 30 and work our way back down to 5 burpees. After the third set of burpees, I felt my ankle almost roll on me so I modified it to stay in the parking lot to finish up the workout and doing the burpees in between. I saw our FNG was struggling a little so I helped him out with modifying burpees with LBCs and merkins.

Circle of Trust
Prayers for Rustys daughter to help her recover and soften the pain of having her wisdom teeth taken out. Prayers for Covid to go away and to have a vaccine with no side effects. Prayers for our family and friends near and far to be protected. Prayers for our nation to come together and work together. I know we all have different points of view but let us try to see eye to eye.

Ever since I started my journey in F3 I have been telling myself you could do better, keep pushing myself, be number one, stop giving excuses to slow down, don’t be last. I have yelled at myself during some of my posts because I felt like I was a failure, I felt I was a failure to my health, to my family, to my work, and to my wife. I felt like I was always letting everyone down, but as I continued to come out and see the motivation I was getting from everyone I started to change that feeling, I started to see my health getting better, and able to run without gasping for so much air, my lungs feeling a lot better, my way of life was changed and I started to realize that its ok to be the 6 as long as you don’t leave a man behind but also don’t leave them where they started. After hearing Aladin say that to our FNG today it made me realize that I truly take this to heart. I started to remember my first time and how everyone just kept pushing me telling me it’s ok to modify just keep pushing through it. Even though I sign up to be your Q and to lead you men to a good beat down, I have seen how much I have pushed myself to become a better leader in me to help push the 6 and finish strong. Our FNG OneMoreTime showed up and began with an EC with Blow Dry and even though it was his first time out he pushed through as he can with the burpees and I came to help him get through and finish strong, I told him its ok to modify but we finish strong and together. Next time you are out there posting or even in just out and about if you see someone who is struggling or needs help just remember this one thing “We can only get better and finish strong if we stick together. ”
Until next time ITG
