AO: thestronghold
Q: Red Skull
PAX: Decaf, Young and Restless, bluemule, Chunks, hambone, Focker, Natural Ice, Michelin Man, Longhorn, Judy, Right Said, Crawlspace, SalPal (retired), Speed Walker, Baby Boy, Light Weight, Five Points, Temper Tantrum, Unc, Tampax, Skid Mark, Long Way, Trajectory

COUNT: 24
CONDITIONS: 73 degrees, low humidity, beautiful sunrise – a perfect day for a run.

WARMUP: Assign PAX to their pace groups and begin the standard warmup – SSH, Squats, HBWs, Stretches

THE THANG: Every man was assigned a group to run with. It was the task of each man to stay with the assigned group. Doing so would ensure a Personal Record time for every 4:13 Strong man. Four were successful, six could not do it.

Congrats to Speed Walker (25:49), Five Points (26.23), Baby Boy (26:27) and Temper Tantrum (28:58).

Thank you to all of my Pacers for setting and holding the bar.

MOLESKINE: The 4:13 Strong men are in week 4. This has traditionally been the hardest week of the 40 Day, not because we do anything different, but because the men become comfortable and over confident. Please keep the 4:13 Strong men in your prayers this week…they all need it!

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Signing Day for this class will be Friday 8/30 at 11:30am. Join us, help celebrate what our men have accomplished and enjoy a delicious lunch of Hot Chicken with Mac & Cheese.

COT: Prayers for strength, healing and endurance.
