We discussed charity – an act of giving (time treasure talent), why we do it, how to teach and model it for our children, and wrestled with the questions of if all giving is charity, if the distinction is the worthiness of the recipient, and if so, what makes it worthy?

The group drew on stories of Cain’s sacrifice and the Jewish idea of “Tikkun Olam” which means “healing the world”

We were joined by a father son duo. One from out of town. One from Cary. Both Gator fans. Unreal!
March madness themed workout this morning. We revisited the age old question of which Gators team is the best team of all time. Of course the 2025 Gators made this a more complicated question. PAX split into two teams (’07 and ’25) to complete feats of physical and mental strength.
Gators won!
Prayers or Flintstones family and Bubba. MIAGD

Thirteen HIMs gathered in the gloom and made quick work of a five mile jaunt through the undulating hills of Lochmere Lakeside.

Announcements were made, prayers were lifted up, and fellowship commenced.

MIAGD fellas!

A cold and still church parking lot with a small handful of PAX ever ready to get 1% better.

We had 1 PAX for each station and it was slow start, with only commitment to the gloom as motivated.

A 5 rounder with slow start and a hard first 2 rounds for everyone. But as the fight went on, everyone found their rhythm. YOU vs YOU was the theme, and the in doing the hard thing, we conquered the gloom

These PAX dug deep, and modified where where necessary, and stayed moving

YHC tried to make it fun, but often, we have accept the fun aspect. So we do it with our brothers.

The Thang: Fight-Gone-Bad WOD (on tour)

Soundtrack: Train like Rocky – passion, endurance, sacrifice. You’re getting stronger

COT:

Prayers:

Praying for men leading their households as well as their selves.

Praying for PD, that he is healed of cancer via all of God’s resources.
That God covers PD’s mind, will, and emotions, and this around him.
That PD is edifyed by loved ones and friends.

Praise (requests)

Shipyard is awesome and he knows it
Praise God we made it the gloom with our brothers and God makes us well about to do what we are called to do TODAY

In the mane of the God that opened the water for Moses

10 campers and 4 brOchos hit the waves this morning. I had no elaborate plan but to see how many showed up and wing it. Pledge and we are off.

Mosey for a flying Ray warmup. Stop at BK to stretch it your way. Continue on to Whole Foods for some no fluff added standards. Continue on to the bottom of all hills and man did those baked goods smell delicious OTW!

Grab a coupon and a compadre. Mosey up to the fountains. Partner Dora with a twist. One does the standard merkins/squats/LBCs while the partner carries the coupon up and around the pickle. Everyone hit 3 carries each but counting was questionable.

Return our coupons to the bottom. Mosey to finish the sting ray. Back to the flag for Mary. One PAX’s signature was stolen so he had to think fast. 100’s then HAND!

Major trouble counting at COT. 10 no 12 no 16 no 14. Prizes for the Merkin Champs were handed out. OTW got his Perfect Push-up gift set. Nabs got some epsom salt and recovery cream/gel.

Shirt order still live for the Highland Games, which are 4/19. Sign up for the picnic 4/27. MIAGD!

5 mile run with a group of F3 stallions. This backblast is brought to you by First Bank… if your not banking with First, you’re last. Also brought to you by #LetsChamber, Wu-Tang banger, 36 styles of danger. Bring da ruckus today fellas!

We talked about prayer being a dialgue rather than a monologue.

Noise is factor for all – yet we still need to practice. Anything you practice, you get better at.

One thing YHC heard in the noise this week was, “Be still, and know that I am God.”

Thank you for allowing YHC to lead this morning

Temps were high, as was the workout tempo. PB flag is on the IR so we pledged to the CFA flag and took off for the grassy area for warmups, including the motivator led by Flintstone.

Thang 1 – 12 min of up and down the stairs. Except for one Pax who kept on modifying to do merkins at the bottom. HTSI.

Thang 2 – over to the building in the back for out and backs with exercises at each tree island. Run to the first island for 2 merks and 2 jump squats. Then run back to the start. Then to the second tree island for 4 of each and so on until we completed our 12 even only combinatorial set. Quick round of mary while the six came in.

Back to the flag for another Flintstone motivator! Then regular Mary.

Plentiful announcements. Prayers for Yogi.

A quick exchange of pleasantries with the 6 @ 6 crew and we were off into the morning.

The cold came back into town while 5 pax moseyed around the Lochmere vicinity for a solid 7 miles at 7am.
