ego

We ran or rucked then discussed chapter 4 of Extreme Ownership-Ego. Great discussion. Takeaway point for me is this: Often the worst ego that you will ever have to deal with is your own. Glad I have some HIMs around to remind me of this.

Whoopee

Crossroads 1/29/23

We had a large crowd at Crossroads. Great weather,  great camaraderie and arguably the best Q-source (so far this year) were experienced this last day of January. Runners ran, ruckers rucked as everyone got a little better and a little faster. Q-Source topic was Contentment. Great discussion on happiness vs. joy, controlling your emotions, and durability. Thank you guys for kindly stopping in!

We raised right around $3000.00 for Angel Bows by Raemy and had a haul of can goods to deliver to the Dallas Christian Ministry.  We had someone there from F3 supporting almost all hours of the night except two. Can’t wait to see how much we can accomplish next year.

Folsom 1/21 Freight Inspired Q

 

6:30 hits and we have a small number of PAX and 1 FNG. Let’s get going. I had the privilege of attending one of Freight’s Q’s and decided to re-use it. He is a PAX that I’ve always looked up to.

The WarmUP:
SSH IC x 3
That’s enough, let’s get to work.

The Thang:
Using my cones and the light poles, 15 stops were in place from the bottom parking lot to the entrance to the park.
The work: grab a coupon out of YHC’s truck and head to bottom of lot and first light pole. Do 10 kettle bell swings with block, run to next light pole for 10 V-up’s. Run back to block and riffle care to next light pole or cone. Repeat for all 15 spots. Arrive at entrance to park and say the pledge. Now time to go back, however this time exercise was 5 chest press with block and 5 hand release merkins. Running out of time and had to Omaha. Time for COT and name FNG.
I shared a little more about Freight and shared my word for the year: Fearless.
Shared a short devotional on Fearless.

Named FNG: Welcome Abu!!

COT:
2nd F lunch this Wednesday – Hillbillies
Feb 11 – Convergence – Folsom
Prayer Request: Big Pappy, Mayor, Huck and his dad, Wirenut’s family.
