At 5:30 am, we fired up The Forge once again. 9 strong emerged from the gloom to challenge themselves and continue on a journey of self-improvement. A summary for your viewing pleasure:
No warm up needed – started out on the grassy knolls: bear crawl up, lunge walk across, crab walk down.
COP: No counting needed! – walking Russian Soldiers, walking helicopters, walking arm circles, walking Hillbillies, walking Lt. Dans. 20 count Alabama Prom Date oyo.
Mosey down to the ampitheatre for the Balls to the Wall Challenge. One man runs to the bleachers while the PAX assumes the position. 25 ct. LBC’s between each set. Keep going until everyone has run.
Mosey to west side for a triple check: Heals to Heaven, Elbow Plank, Weaving under the handrail to the tree – sorry for those who went further on the first set!
Back towards the flag completing 2 burpees at each light pole.
Got in some much needed stretching to close out the final 2 minutes.
Counterama, Namearama. YHC lead us out.
Prayers for Doublemint who was facing a challenging day. He provided some great perspective on how the group has assisted with mental strength and pushing oneself out of you comfort zone. A welcomed discussion to balance out our normal juvenile banter.
Great work to all the PAX today – you guys killed it!

Great Q Chaplain- hard to decide what was most grueling. I think it’s a tie among the cold start bear crawls, the never ending BTTWs, the marathon ducking under the handrails, and the unconscionable crop dusting I laid down on Bone Thugs. I’m pretty sure he had to burn his clothes when he got home.
