We concluded that AI is like a teenager/20 year old … sometimes it doesn’t do what it says it did and yet it’s always confident. Providing context is important. Opportunities to have some extra grace and repeating oneself are also bound to happen.

MOLESKINE:“The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything.” — Warren Buffett
The big takeaway I’ve had from all the other moleskins lately is making sure we’re focusing our time on higher things, serving others and the right things. Sometimes saying no is the best way to make that happen.

Date: 2026-02-13 AO: pain-train Q: Sooie PAX: Juicy J, FLO, Roadkill, Sooie FNGs: None COUNT: 4 CONDITIONS: Cold. Crisp. Waning crescent moon. Frost-bitten field. The kind of morning that makes poor decisions feel noble.
WARMUP: With only FLO and I present at 0530 we began with the F3 heresy of stretching. For a fleeting moment, I considered bypassing the labor entirely, fast-forwarding straight to coffeeteria, forging an epic backblast, and pretending the tables had been arduously carried. But before temptation could commit, Roadkill and Juicy J arrived in unison. And just like that, the motion I once considered… was tabled. We then as a group performed: – Motivators – Walkout merkins – Low slow squats
THE THANG: THE BEAST Six cones. Straight line. Ten yards apart. At each cone: 6 reps. Carry the tables the entire distance. Complete the circuit 6 times. Partner up. Acquire lumber. Cone 1: Merkins Cone 2: Table Squats (one PAX per side) Cone 3: Skull Crushers (incline Carolina Dry Dock style, hands on table) Cone 4: Step-Ups — 2 is 1 (Originally table walk-overs… but frost + slick lumber suggested we adjourn before litigation was introduced.) Cone 5: Dips Cone 6: Decline or Incline Merkins (dealer’s choice)
Lumber migrated. Shoulders fatigued. Grip integrity declined. Rounds accumulated.
Inspired by doubles luge, we proceeded to perform doubles WWII’s upon the table tops, undulating our torsos in unison! jk/lol we did not.
Instead, we shifted to ISO holds: – Reverse plank – Low plank Followed by suicide sprints to retrieve cones. 10 yards out and back. 20 yards. 30 yards. …and so on. Each cone claimed = points earned. Speed gradually decreased. Breathing escalated. Dignity fluctuated.
The remaining minutes were surrendered to abdominal exercises, as mandated by F3 law and upheld by unanimous consent.
MOLESKINE: Reflected on the faithfulness of God in the midst of uncertain circumstances.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: holy smokers Leanpax at an end. T-claps to those who made it through!
COT: Prayers lifted. Coffee enjoyed.
PLAYLIST: Gasps and Groans by the 440+

Shakira’s Racewalk School (Pt. 1)

Date: 2026-02-10 AO: the-knoll Q: Shakira PAX: Stubs, Roadkill, Juicy J, FLO, AAA, morning stār, Shakira, Étouffée, Wolfpack, Sparrow, Derby, Pebbles, Sooie, Bumblebee (2.0), Link (2.0) FNGs: None COUNT: 15 CONDITIONS: Upon rising from bed, the PAX were greeted by Piglet’s Favorite Kind of Weather (Shorts Weather) and a balmy temperature of 47 degrees. Our resident meteorologist, Juicy J, informed us that the feel-like temp was 42 so the PAX would have to keep moving if they were going to stay warm in the Gloom. Fortunately, by the end of the workout several PAX reported that they were sweating buckets and the feel-like had mysteriously risen to 70.
WARMUP: 30 side straddle hops, 15 Baby arm circles, 15 Back backs, 15 Press ups, 15 Twinkle Toes, 10 low slow merkins, Mosey.
Pebbles, Derby, and Étouffée wanted to make sure they weren’t late for Shakira’s school so they showed up early for an extra 10 minutes of sand bag burpees.
THE THANG: The PAX began their initiation into Shakira’s Racewalk School with a brief explanation of the rules of Racewalk and a group mosey. Bumblebee and Link appeared to be future racewalk olympians and are on the Shakira shortlist for full scholarships.
Next, the PAX’s completed an endurance test called the 7 of Diamonds workout: 4 sets of Burpees, Iron Mikes, WW2s, and Twinkle Toes in increasing count (7, 14, 21, 28). MOT was a choice between bear crawl and imperial walkers.
Finally, the PAX completed a 10 minute “Move & Hold” Lie Detector test to discover if their “Hips Don’t Lie.” Results were mixed, so we will have to repeat this experiment again soon.
60 second plank 3 x 30s glute bridge, 30s hold (Rleg, Lleg, both) 3 x 30s core exercise, 30s hollow hold or plank (scissors, dying cockroach, Shakiras (Jlos)
MOLESKINE: “When you fall get up, oh, oh…And if you fall get up, eh, eh”
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Holy smokers coming up soon in East Nashville!
COT: A moment of silence to reflect in gratitude for what we have and pray for all in need.

WARMUP: SSH, BACs, BACBACs, WMH, PE Stretch
THE THANG: 5-10-15-20-25 Started w/ 5 reps per exercise for a set and worked up to the 5th set of 25 reps for each of the following:
WWII’s Merkins SB Rows SB Curls SB Thrusters
Each set ended with Pull ups with quantity being the Set # completed.
PAX completed 1 full round and made it 3 Sets (15 reps) into the second round.
We dropped in 3-4 Mosey’s to give the arms a breather.
Ended w/ 2 min plank w/ 20 second Merkin burnout
MOLESKINE: Don’t forget to give yourself grace. We set high expectations for ourselves and tend to forget there are things out of your control that alter the expected outcome. Accept it, move on and continue to do your best.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Holy Smokers end of Feb at Hipster’s
COT: Prayed us out
