Fault Line. Monday, April 12. Five men joined me for some shenanigans with bricks and running. We Dora’ed, we mini Dora’ed, and we Usain Bolted. It was a quality time with quality men.

Again, I can’t upload an image so here’s a picture of a guy getting kicked in the junk.

Conditions: Low 60s, clear. Real nice.

A baker’s dozen showed up at Fault Line expecting a well thought-out, carefully planned Q. What they got instead was the opportunity to mix in some running with exercises of their own choosing, leaving the rest to chance.

Conditions: Hot, but not too hot. Humid, but not too humid. Misery level was moderate.

No, not this Dice.

The Thang

Using the number five as the multiplier (honoring F3’s 5+ years in Summerville), we stopped at many points along our mosey to execute various exercises as called by the PAX. One PAX would choose an exercise, then YHC would roll a dice (yes, OK – roll a die). The numberon the die, multiplied by 5, was the number of reps we executed. We got in roughly 2.2 miles of running with five exercise stops along the way. We did three separate exercises at the first three stops, and one each at the last two stops for time. Return to the flag for five burpees.

Devo: John 3:30 – He shall become greater and I shall become less. There’s a brand from Hawaii I love HE>i. It stands for He is greater than I. While confusing to look at initially, it’s a great way to remember to put the Lord first and make Him of utmost importance rather than selfishly placing myself first.

Moleskin:   PSA, practice safe weapons handling discipline. Always treat a weapon as if it’s loaded, never muzzle flash or point as someone you don’t intend to shoot, practice good trigger discipline, and only place your finger on the trigger when ready to shoot. Familiarize yourself with weapons under safe conditions.
