Ringpop asked me if there was going to be much running in the BD, and I said, “Above average amount.” It became our mantra, and ultimately I think I can confidently say the BD was above average.

Mosey, circled up, warmups, mosied to the swings where we did a Mini-Murph. 10 pull-ups, then a run around Pine Island; 20 Merkins and a run around Pine Island; 30 squats and then a run around Pine Island. You get the ideas. We talked about Lt. Michael Murphy and his sacrifice.

We then ran to Blanket’s Creek parking lot and did BLIMPs: 1 Burpies, 10 Lunges, 15 Imperial Walkers, 20 Merkins and 25 Plank Jacks with a run between each set, escalating.

Thoroughly sweaty, we ran back and prayed for each other’s families and friends.

It was great to have Snap-On back after him falling away a bit during and after COVID. Welcome back, brother!

And of course, always great seeing Ringpop and Chicken Fight, who never signed up for slack — slackers.

You guys are freakin’ rockstars to me. Thanks for showing up for my perhaps above-average Q!
