Saving Old Glory – RESPECT WEEK

/in /QIC:
PAX: ,

Great to see HazMat and Dusty return to Tea Time! I planted the flag at 6:55 pm and we caught up while stretching OYO. Then, we took off for our 1-mile run. The two 1-mile runs on a Murph are great because you can talk without interrupting your fellow PAX’s counts. So, we talked on this run before jumping into the exercises.

Upon our return to the playground, I immediately noticed something was wrong. My F3 shovel flag, which stands very tall, was missing! Oh my! HazMat found the shovel on the ground over there. Dusty found the connecter piece (rod holder) elsewhere. Now where’s the flag???

Then, right there in the middle of the turf, I spied two adorable little girls, probably about 4 years old. One was pulling the other around like a water skier. But wait, that’s not a rope, and those aren’t water skis… THAT’S MY FLAG! 

I intercepted them and they returned it. I explained that Old Glory must be treated with respect and must never touch the ground. Dusty, HazMat, and I chuckled for the next hour.

And of course, we knocked out the MURPH exercises: 100 pullups, 200 Merkins, 300 squats. And of course, another mile run. 

Temperature was perfect at about 49 degrees. 

Prayer requests: Dusty doctor visit to discuss hip options; HazMat’s dad seeking diagnosis for dizziness.

RESPECT Lesson: Plant your shovel flag at every F3 workout that you Q. And more importantly, treat the American flag with RESPECT!

There’s no evidence that killer whales eat moose regularly, but they do sometimes.”
