Chatter on the Pleasantville channel last night had several HCs for an EC 5K. With a wide range of excuses for fartsacking, Homes was the only man to show and pounded out his miles in advance of the ME.

14 PAX assembled in the humid, damp, muggy remnants of one hell of a storm. No new guys but disclaimer was given anyway as YHC is about as far away from a fitness professional as you can get and wanted to remind that men of that!

The Thang
Buddy carry from Pleasantville to Bastille. Go to the basketball court. There on the court were Nacho Libre’s balls just waiting for us to play with them. Partners split into separate teams. Each team lined up on the sideline while one PAX shot a free throw. Make it and everyone lunge walks across and does 10 squats. Miss it and you bear crawl across and do 10 merkins. We knocked out two rounds and there were a lot more misses in the dark and as excessive bear crawling really screws up your touch on a free throw.

Mosey to the hockey rink. PAX from each team take turns rolling Nacho Libre’s balls into the hockey goal from midcourt. If the ball goes in the thrower calls an exercise for the other team and an easier one for their own team. 8 rolls in total and we were done. Mosey back to the AO with your partner. One runs forward the other runs backward. Switch as needed.

Mary – No time for that.

COT
Homes encouraged the men to jump on F3 Dad’s Camp next year

Recently YHC saw the movie “Won’t You Be My Neighbor” which is the story of Mr. Rogers and how he really did lead a life that was congruous with his convictions. He also really lived by the golden rule and treated everyone well and was a leader in promoting civil rights and accepting people for who they are. Today each man thought of a person in their life who made a difference, and silently thanked them for being in their life. We should all strive to be that person that others think of when they think about who made a difference in their life. And go see the movie!!!
