Stadium of Pain

Preamble:

Well, no one was willing to take the Q this week so YHC decided to bring the pain. We had a great crowd pre-rucking, with 6 total PAX! I had to move my truck full of coupons just moments before the BD was scheduled to begin, so I made a sprint back to the flag to start on time. Disclaimer was given while I was catching my breath and we were off.

Warm-O-Rama:

We ran to the flag in front of Milton and circled up for the Warm-o-Rama. I made sure it was known this would be a “fun” BD right from the beginning going with Mercans to start the warm up. From there we did the following:

• Mountain climbers
• Quad stretch (with the promise of needing those legs stretched)
• Calf stretch
• Weed pickers

From here, run to the stadium and stop by the truck to grab a coupon.

The Thang:

COT:

We had prayers for illness, injury, and safe travels. Also, prayers for those dealing with various situations on holidays where they may not be spending it in the ways normally spent.

Blood drive coming up on the 30th, and MT always looking for more guys to run on Monday afternoons.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

It was a pleasure leading today, and am glad I had the opportunity to Q. Good work put in by all!
