Oh The Hollow… there’s no better place to get a wonderful mix of personalities, real fellowship, and mumble chatter that ranges from mundane (reading a newspaper before workout) to the insane (social media posts about feminine products). YHC is always glad to return to his secondary “home” AO. A couple of years ago, YHC’s work situation didn’t allow for him to post at Graveyard for several months, and so the Hollow became a home away from home.
BIG #TClaps for the dozen PAX that showed up for Stridelite
#TClaps for All 9’s who set a blistering pace for the 5k this morning, YHC needed the push
#TClaps for all who posted. Despite the mumble chatter, YHC witnessed no actual complaining about the work, and all PAX crushed it. These men know how to get to work.
Conditions: 35 degrees and clear

With partner, Bear Haul to 3rd light pole and back. Bear Hauls consist of getting into a bear crawl position with each partner having a hand on the block. As a team, move the block as you crawl forward. Turn around at the end, to even out the abuse on the arms and shoulders.

“Dont Wait” — “Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant. If they watch every cloud, they never harvest” — Ecclesiastes 11:4
What have you been putting off, waiting for those perfect conditions? A date with your wife? Spending time with your kids? Getting your budget under control? Finding time for prayer?
“The Christian life is one of diligence. It leaves no room for procrastination. What do you need to plant today?”
