I had a feeling tomorrow would be a Hero WOD. This is gonna feel extra close. He passed on my birthday and I'll be 24 years old this year. RIP brother.
Thank you for your service and sacrifice. In your honor, I will tough out this WOD.
I never forgot brother.
Rangers lead the way!

Hoooah Army Crossfit!!!
Sunday musings (typing in green)...
1) Sure. "Faith and Begorra".
2) Shillelagh. Because today everyone should know how to spell 'cudgel' correctly.
3) Humblebrag. You've heard someone do this. Probably drives you nuts, just like me. You might even do this every once in a while, again just like me. It often goes something like "man, it's so hard to get into Harvard these days I probably wouldn't have gotten in early decision if I was applying today."
Dontcha just hate that?
4) Commitment. "No reserve. No retreat. No regret." Three separate entries into the bible of a young missionary when he, in order, committed to his mission, arrived in a foreign land, and heard his own fatal diagnosis at age 25.
That's commitment.
Think about how this might work in your life. You've got something before you, some task, a challenge, maybe just 13.3. You've got it, whatever 'it' is, and it's within you to triumph. All it takes is a full commitment to the task.
No reserve. No doubts or reservations at the outset. You're in. In for the whole thing, right from the get-go. No retreat. You're gonna go forward and fulfill your obligation, complete the task, reach the goal. And finally, regardless of the outcome, no regrets. You put yourself on the line. Accepted a challenge. Made the effort and accepted all that came with it, win, lose, or draw.
The "3 R's" of commitment. No reserve. No retreat. No regrets.
5) Defense. Clan bingo lives by a very small number of credos, the most frequently stated one being: "less said, sooner mended." We approach conflict, gossip, grudges and all types of 'drama' with this in mind. It's amazing how often silly stuff, however hurtful or harmful, simply dissipates into the mist if you don't talk about it or don't respond to it. "Less said, sooner mended" works almost all of the time.
When it doesn't work, or at least when we have opted not to invoke it, is when there is a clear effort at character assassination afoot. This is very different from gossip, however mean spirited. Character assassination is the purposeful placement of a negative untruth followed by the carefully planned encouragement of the propagation of that untruth until it becomes the default descriptor for the target of the character assassination. In effect it is premeditated murder of someone's reputation.
You cannot ignore this.
How, then, to know the difference between simple gossip and true character assassination? Easy, I think. Gossip responds to "less said, sooner mended" before it reaches anyone whose opinion you truly value; character assassination sows seeds of doubt in an ever tightening ring of your relationships. Once this is identified and confirmed "less said, sooner mended" must be abandoned in favor of any and all manner of responses that might be necessary to defeat the attack.
Our lives are filled with gossip and drama. It is part of the human condition it seems. Upon leaving high school the vast majority of us will never be the victims of an attempted character assassination; we should approach almost all situations with this in mind, and accordingly consider "less said, sooner mended" our default setting. Life is easier and dramatically less stressful and more pleasant in this mode.
If, on the other hand, you sense those doubts coming closer within your circles, if you sense that every "less said, sooner mended" only frees that carefully planned untruth to grow unchecked...well...then you must commit. You must run TOWARD the story armed and ready to destroy that untruth with no reservations about any possible collateral damage as you move to its source. It should be clear from your response that you will brook no retreat along your way. Your adversaries in this battle you did not choose should know without doubt that the only regret at the end will be theirs.
So Clan bingo continues to live by its long-time credo of "less said, sooner mended". We encourage others to do the same. Life is easier because of it! Let no one mistake your kindness and gentle nature for weakness, though. Be clear that you know the difference between mere gossip and true character assassination. Let it be known that you will ignore the former, but fully commit to fighting the latter.
With no reserve, no retreat, and no regrets.
I'll see you next week...
Rangers Lead The Way! God Bless Our Troops and their families!

unfortunately missing a bunch of these workouts because I only work out once or twice a week because I want to be rested for the open.
Subbed burpee ring muscle-ups. Otherwise, as rx'd. 4 rounds + 4 deadlifts.
I felt pretty beat up today, so I set out trying to go at this at about 80%. But once I got into it, things felt pretty good, so it was more like 90%. Felt good to run again - the foot did "okay", but still did not feel normal. Deads felt great. First time with burpee muscle-ups. Nasty little buggers. Was doing great until I failed the last MU of round 4 about 4 times.
Happy Hero Friday!

Bar MU little better this time. Didn't get all of them first round. Just counted attempts, so can't be rx'd. Think I got them all after that round. Good job getting head way through shoulders at bottom, which really helped w/momentum. Didn't push very hard on DL. Mostly 5+4 & way too long between. Used lifting gloves so that kept hand tears from aggravating on bar MU.
