So, the idea of the Weight and the Wait has been weighing heavily on YHC’s mind as I wait on what the Lord has in store for me and my family and as I think about the Burdens we carry in this life.
Funyuns and I ran with Rob Jones last year as he was completing 31 Marathons in 31 Days in 31 Cities…First one was in London (Not Kentucky). Oh by the way, Rob is a 2x Amputee. Rob’s tag line his to “Use The Weight” and his story can be found at https://youtu.be/gq4IdUpxVYY …
We all have different Weights and we all carry them differently. The only thing I would change in Rob’s awesome message is that we all need a partner, a spouse, a friend and sometimes a Brotherhood to help us carry the weight.
As a man with a Christian worldview (and a Potty Mouth), I also think about the word Wait and what it means to me. Right now, I am waiting on the Lord to show me the way to my next career so that I may provide for my family. The life that has been predestined and ordained for me is one of waiting, Waiting on the Not Yet but Will Be, waiting on the Voice for the next step and Waiting on being reunited with all my Brothers and Sisters at Home.
BH:
Prayers up for Spicoli, for this Class of young men that they become HIM (High Impact Men) and that they change the course and trajectory of their lives and families. Spoke with Olan Mills today, his Dad received good news from his Doc yesterday.

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.

As we passed one of the BANKS in Brentwood, Grease Trap commented that he must have not gotten the Memo that Smokeboots moved to B’Wood. It was at this point that YHC shared his transgressions and broke right with no warning to Crawfish’s old haunt for

Evolution I:
Mosey out to the Southeast corner and the big open field fence. Modified DORA was explained 100 Merkins, 200 Squats, 300 LBCs. Since YHC was having trouble showing the exact endex of the run, we ran down to the bushes on the opposite end of the field and used that as our StartEx and the Fence as our EndEx.
Modification: P1 starts with exercise, P2 runs to Fence and calls for his Pardsy. This was intended for P1 and P2 to actually know the name of their Pardsy. YHC failed miserably and called Sinestro Nightcrawler at first. So when P2 gets to fence he commences on exercises and calls for P1. Flapjacking all the way through until all in. Toga’s team was leading Plank variation as YHC and Funyuns brought up the 6.
Evolution II:
Tennis court work –
P1 Starts with Bear Crawl Kick outs and P2 attempts to catch P1. Not sure that any P2s caught the P1s. ( It was at this point that YHC noticed some nice Telephone poles for some Log PT for next Q. )
After going lengthwise, we FlapJacked and had the P1s chase the P2s. Again, no one was caught.
P1 in High Plank, P2 burpee over P1 flapjacking all the way down to the other end.
