The THANG
We started our way back to Belmont Central Elementary on Assembly Street. Eagle Park is lined with trees on either side. So at each tree on our way back we did five squats.
Once we got back to Belmont Central Elementary we noticed Rebar had gone MIA. Bubba Sparxxx went to see where he was, and a few minutes later Rebar appeared. He said he thought he saw someone trying to break into his vehicle. During that time we some ab work.
We made our way over to the field. I had plans to bring Sandy (play sand), but left her at home so we only had Cindy (cinder block) to use.
As one PAX carried “Cindy” 50 yards (rifle style) and 50 yards back the other PAX performed a called exercise. We did three rounds of this. The exercises that the person with the cinder block did were curls, overhead press, and chest press with a rep count of 25.
With not much time to spare. We sprinted from one side of the soccer field to the other. We did this for about five minutes before time had run out.

Nice group to run on a beautiful Halloween morning. Many were running 10 miles today but I sacrificed to be the Q and only ran 5 with Gumby. Sarlacc and Blart, I believe, ran over 6. We waited for a certain Pax (rhymes with Claw) and waited and finally had to move on. Nice job everyone!
After Crossroads, most went in for coffee and Q Source where we discussed Apprenticeship. I wanted us to focus on being apprentices not just at work but in our families and other areas of influence. Our world needs men to look to as examples and F3 Pax should be leading this cause. Are you a man that younger men look to for advice or at least as an example. If not, what could you do to improve that?
Announcements: Extinction Run next Saturday 11/6 at 9:00 at Primal Brewery in Belmont. Sign up on Slack.

Thanks to all who posted!
**NMM The Q Source discussion was just underway when Wirenut takes a seat with a large box of warm honey buns from the deli. This was very distracting especially to those trying to participate in the 40 day challenge. We can understand as Wirenut’s daughter was married just the evening before so he deserves a cheat dessert. He did offer to share the honey buns though. Q Source was completed slightly quicker today as some long-time chatty attendees were not in attendance. We miss you. You know who you are.
Mr. Ozark put out a request for someone to take his Q. Bedpan and YHC answered at about the same time, so we decided to Co-Q. YHC attacked the shoulders, Bedpan decided to wreck the legs.
If you weren’t there, we hate you missed it.
It was fun and horrible.

Prayer to finish the morning.
The last week in my 40’s so with a nudge from a fellow pax i decided to run 50 miles in seven days (started on Sunday and will finish Sat my birthday). It may sound crazy but the nudge is what i needed at this time, i wasn’t moving forward. Thank you to all the pax and for the friendships and the pushes!!
Until next time (Wed of this week)
