21 men posted in balmy weather after Tuesday’s frozen tundra and celebrated Tuesday’s temperatureX2 by revisiting the long lost #Paversn’Slabs for a BrickPile-esque beat down at the hands of Chaser. Because of the chronically wet football field as they try to get winter rye to grow we have not spent hardly any time with our pain implements recently. That changed. The workout included a nice light jaunt around the Greenbriar neighborhood carrying the oh-so-light pavers and jumping over a creek in the dark…twice.

Moleskin:
– Good numbers today and T-Claps to all for posting. The mind is a wonderful thing and YHC thinks that after Tuesday’s 16 some figured 33 just wasn’t that bad and posted when maybe they wouldn’t have normally and found that 33 really isn’t bad. Come on back Tuesday!
– Challenge issued to pax to pick one guy who has not posted in a while and work that EH to get him back. Remember, EHing a guy EHs yourself at the same time. If you encourage a man to post it also holds you accountable to post. Two way street. EH for him and for you.
Announcements:– F3BibleCHallenge2014: In the words of Stain: “Week 1 is in the books. 51 more to go for one of the greatest goals you will ever set! Paul wrote, “Perseverance creates character and character creates hope”. Keep preserving; keep pushing; and keep holding each other accountable. It is not too late to get on board. Email me for details if you need them ([email protected]).
– Giving: With it being so cold, Seeker asked us to remember those that aren’t as fortunate as we are, and are suffering in this weather without proper clothing. if you have any jackets or warm clothing you don’t want or use anymore, please bring it to your workouts this week, Seeker will find it a new home where it is needed. Grease-Trap literally gave the (sweat)shirt right off his back….which was a little gross…but full of good intent.
