PAX performed valiantly. 2 laps of The Purple Cow completed exceeding 2.5 miles, T-Claps for FNG Backblast who was suffering from disk problems in back but toughed out the work for his first post.
Prior to closing out COT, we discussed a quote I keep on my desk that states the following:
“The finish line of comfort and the starting line of growth look an awful lot alike.” – Dan Klein
Whether we are looking to grow spiritually, in our marriage as husbands, as fathers, as leaders, or physically; we must push through discomfort to allow real growth and progress to take hold. The PAX of The Purple Cow got stronger today and pushed through the finish line of comfort. Challenge going forward was to determine what other area of our lives to we need to push through comfort to be the men God is calling us to be.
God Bless,
Umbrella

Posting live from Midtown hospital after arrival of another 2.0 by the M. Sorry for the delay. 20 come out for a muggy beatdown. Little does the PAX know it will be a surprise Co-Q with Big Stick and YHC, to be referred to as Big Nuts moving forward.
Start our with a brief mosey and return to the parking lot for the WOR. Can’t fully remember with all this hospital time but it was pretty standard. 20 SSH, 10 squats, 10 merkins, 10 GM, 10 BAC and a few cherry pickers all IC.
Big stick on DJ spins some amazing William Tell Overature for the PAX to experience my welcome home from work ritual my children have adopted. During the song (all 10 minutes), group 1 will King Arthur around the parking lot while group 2 does AMRAP hand release burpees. Flap jack until song is complete. Really got the heart pumping and saw some horrible form by the end! Hans Zimmer never cuts corners on his epic movie soundtracks.
Hand off to Big Stick for a brutal circuit of 20 rows, 20 power merkins, 20 WWIs, 20 tuck jumps and then 15 butler pull ups all together as a group. We did 3 rounds of this with a surprise last round of 40 reps in honor of CCrs bday he didn’t tell anyone about.

Time
NM: A great surprise to have Vegemite and Yard Sale post with us at The Skunk. Always a pleasure watching those two get after it. Today’s Q was inspired by YHCs noticeable lack of running in June, which will be rectified in July. Think that is the most mileage a non running Q has covered in quite some time. T Claps to Big Stick for allowing me to highjack his Q since he’s been KSAing all on his own as of late.
My greatest pleasure this AM was seeing that sea foam green Sequoia roll into The Skunk and knowing that none other than Head Stud was back in the game. Fantastic to have you back out in the G with us again brother.
Life Champ with the heart of a true Champion today. Back off a weeks long road trip with the Fam and getting it handed to him but like the Life Champ he is, he never wavered and never gave in to that voice of defeat.
Per usual, Big Stick led the way w Preacher Man. Way to get after it men.
BH: Lots of stuff going on this month.
Wed Am – Convergence at Titan 0530-0730. Should suck, should be some Burpees. All other AOs closed.
Wed – Party at your Grease Trap’s house to raise funds and awareness for Team Job.

Warmup:
Disclaimer
20 SSH IC
17 Slow and Low Squats IC
10 GMs IC
12 Merkins IC
There was an extremely simple and extremely taxing (for YHC) workout.
1. Run to Portland Brew and back to Sevier Park (~.9 miles). Squats, SSH, or Plank for the six/Hambone.
2. COP including 12 Merkins IC as the last exercise.
3. Repeat.
With a total of 4 rounds, the Stonewall Pax completed ~3.5 miles of this awful workout.
Pax closed out with dips, planks, and 6 Minutes of Mary.
NMM:
1. Sweat was not a rare commodity. TruthNugget that some pax skipped coffeeteria because they were soaked to their jimmies.
2. Truly embarrassing to be at the back of your own workout, but zero regrets and I plan on pulling this one out again.
3. Five pax (Bagger, Hambone, Vegemite, Pop-a-Lock, and Black Lung) posted for coffeeteria.
