The BackBlast:

Intro:

With a pleasant 62 degrees in Fort Collins, YHC arrived at the The Swanson ready to dispense a solid beatdown upon the PAX.  After Go Blue! mentioned how much he “enjoyed” the Thunderstruck workout, along with a note the night-before mentioning he was bringing an FNG, YHC pulled together a solid workout to keep everyone’s heart rate up.  So at 0530, YHC gave the disclaimer and we were off for…

COT:

• Welcome to FNG Ezekiel Rauscher (F3 Mrs. Doubtfire)!  We’re glad you joined us this morning brother!  Keep coming back.  We’re better because you’re here.
• Continued thoughts and prayers for Go Blue!’s 2.2 – Ella; she remains in the NICU with no noticeable updates as of yet.  Lord-willing she should be coming home in the next 10 days.

YHC took us out with a reminder of Romans 12:21 – “Do not be overcome with evil; but overcome evil with good.”  There is a lot of tension on multiple faces as many within our community (and communities around the country) speak out for justice.  Despite the massive amount of mis- (and dis-) information, we must not be overcome by our frustrations, but must seek to understand and overcome these evils by continuing to do good.  Aye!

Naked Man Moleskin:

• * It was right before Thunderstruck that Ditka made mention of the “fogs of war” on the grounds of The Swanson.
• ** It took two rounds for Googan to bring out the #midwifeNoises.
• *** #crowdPleaser; be sure to avoid eye contact when doing this exercise.

It was an honor and a privilege to serve and lead you men this morning.  Keep working hard this week.  Aye!
