Conditions:36 Degrees. Nice.
26 PAX came out for YHC’s first Q at Graveyard. YHC did not sleep well last night in anticipation of Qing at Lexington’s first AO. RBHS is also huge and endless options (dang, just remembered the logs. Oh well, next time). Ultimately YHC decided on a hill that he had spent some time on before.
Mosey to Hill for COP:
20-Little Arm Circles-IC
15-LBC’s-IC
15-SSH-IC
The Thang:
Count off in ones and twos.
Twos Mosey to Bottom of the Hill. (Two’s have to do extra work. YHC doesn’t know why)
After each exercise the PAX either Bear Crawled up the Hill or Backwards Bear Crawled down the Hill.
YHC did double up a few exercises to save time for more fun.
30-Merkins-OYO
30-Squats-IC
30-LBC’s-IC
10-6 Count Burpees-IC
10-Windmills-IC
20-Merkins-OYO
20-Mountain Climbers-IC
30-Flutter Kicks-IC
All PAX Mosey to bottom of Hill
Line up for Double Apple Sauce
YHC had to halt the DAS for a moment to regroup.
DAS resumed then did about face back to the Hill for more fun.
10-6 Count Burpees-IC
20-Cherry Pickers-4 Count-PAX to hit oneself in the AB’s on the 4th. Why you ask? Because the dude in the Youtube video says that’s the way they do it in prison that’s why.
20-SSH-IC
20-Flutter Kicks-IC
Innumerable amount of Jane Fonda’s-Why you ask? Because the PAX weren’t counting and watching a bunch of guys do Jane Fondas forever is worth it.
All PAX to middle of hill.
Double Applesauce Tunnel of Love with heads facing downhill.
Grrreat Mumblechatter.
Mosey to Bottom of Hill
10-6 Count Burpees-IC
30-Merkins-OYO
30-Imperial Walkers-IC
30-Hello Dollies-IC These were done quickly as a garbage truck was bearing down quickly on our position. YHC ain’t skeered! Maybe not too smart either for doing them in the middle of the road.
Fast Mosey back for COT
Moleskin:
Apologies for going over a few minutes. In YHC’s defense this was time used to get PAX to DAS correctly. Great Mumblechatter and work by the Graveyard PAX.
Count-A-Rama
Name-A-Rama

Devo by YHC:
If any PAX has not seen Faith Like Potatoes then do so. It’s on Netflix. Great movie. It’s about the life of Angus Buchan. A South African Evangelist.
YHC read from Mr. Buchan’s devotional “A Mustard Seed”
Psalm 55:22 Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
Basically Mr. Buchan encouraged the reader to understand that the burdens and trials that come our way are to help us grow stronger. He used an example of a friend who is in his 60’s (respect) that is competing in some Olympic type games. Javelin, Discuss and Shot-put I believe. He stated that this gentleman worked out with heavier weight during training so that in the time of competition he would excel. The trials and burdens that God does allow, prepare us for other tests and trials. It is of course in His strength that we’re able to endure. Ephesians 6:10
Also NoHelp, Clipboard and PYT (where was PYT BTW?) are training for the GORUCK Heavy. They’re of course training with heavier weight to be best conditioned for the beatdown they’re gonna receive. We have brothers and sisters who are going through great trials as well. Let’s hold them up in prayer and graciously encourage them.
