Q: Red Skull
PAX: Hacker (Franklin), Chunks, Judy, Decaf, Longhorn, Popper (DR from Alpha), Yak, Frozen, Westside, Pacer, Trajectory, C#, Triple Seven, Blitz, Sgt Meatball
FNGs: None
COUNT: 16

WARMUP: SSH, Slow & Low Squat, IW, Right/Left Stretch, WMH

THE THANG:
RUN!! We took the normal 3 mile route. No route disruptions encountered today.

Plenty of time for some Mary while waiting for the six. Mary included burpees, SSH, lunges and more burpees before dropping to the ground for some flutter kicks, prom dates and hello dolly’s

MOLESKINE:
We are in week four…the hardest week of the 40-Day Challenge. The 4:13 Strong men were invited to dig deep and keep pushing. A positive attitude and an honest effort is all it tasks to stay on track.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
4:13 Strong is headed to Franklin on Saturday to help defend the flag. Join us at The Armada at 6:30am and help keep Alabama from going home with our flag.

COT: Prayers for strength, wisdom and courage

Tortoise & Hare

AO: thestronghold
Q: Red Skull
PAX: Crawlspace, Hacker (Franklin), Michelin Man, Chunks, Judy, Decaf, Army Surplus, Yak, Frozen, Westside, Pacer, Trajectory, C Sharp, Triple Sevens, Blitz, Sgt Meatball, Training Wheels
FNGs: 1 Training Wheels
COUNT: 18
CONDITIONS: Wet and Soggy

WARMUP: SSH, IW, Squat, Leg Stretch, WMH

THE THANG: A perfect day at The Stronghold. The wet weather created a little adversity which provided the opportunity for us all to choose between an attitude of joy or frustration. The train created a disruption that allowed us all the chance to choose between doing the right harder thing or taking an easier shortcut.

MOLESKINE: Over the past week, we have let five men go from this current class (from 15 to 10) as we continue to weed out those that are not yet ready to take this opportunity seriously. Those five men are now back in uncomfortable, unsafe and even dangerous situations. Hopefully we will see those men come back and try again with a future class.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: The Tennessee vs. Alabama showdown is less that two weeks away. Help TN defend the flag by showing up on Saturday 4/6, 6:30am at Pinkerton Park in Franklin. Check middle-tn for more details.

COT: Prayers for the men at 4:13 Strong and for those that are no longer with us.
