Floyd Ain’t Afraid of No Roosters

February 14, 2019

WHEN: 02/14/2019
QIC: Cosmo
PAX: Bellhop, Floyd, Loonie, Botched, Cardiac

A couple of months back, YHC had the Q but was feeling it after a few consecutive days of hard work. Jokingly mentioned the possibility of audibling to some light yoga and discussing our feelings in a circle. Which led to the idea for today’s Q, perfect for Valentine’s Day.

YHC and Bellhop got cracking early with a four-mile ruck, trading dumbbells and good conversation. A hearty crew awaited us on our return. YHC was glad 16 Seed was nowhere in sight, as I owe him 25 burpees at our next post together due to a stupid wager on the UNC-UVa game.

An eerie cry pierced the gloom prior to warm up, and Floyd was alarmed. However, upon being assured it was a mere rooster, he remarked, “Oh, good. I’m not afraid of roosters. I can kick a rooster.”

Peanut lap, grab a rock, head to field

Line up on base line and spread out

Rock toss to midfield – leave rocks in circle

Thought we’d start by getting up close and personal with a quick buddy carry to end of field, switch, run back to circle

Then it was time for everyone to take their place in the Cosmo Feelings Circle©
Starting around the big midfield circle, PAX did AMRAP exercises while each took their turn going around the circle in different modes of travel.

Prayers for the family of a skier who lost his life during Floyd’s recent trip to Utah.
Continued prayers for healing for my Aunt Lisa, who is improving but still in ICU and unconscious, and strength for my family, particularly my grandparents.
YHC took us out with a prayer that we spread love and joy wherever we go, today and everyday.
