5 Pub members posted for a crisp morning mosey through the Willow Creek neighborhood. All 5 made it back alive!
Day: November 6, 2023
10 Pax posted at Crossroads on Sunday morning. Some ran and some rucked. Some stayed for Q Source and some left to go make a joyful noise at church.
We continued our discussion on leaders. I brought in Abraham Lincoln but specifically talked about his failures. He lost businesses, jobs, and multiple elections and still went on to be considered one of the best presidents we have had in the United states. This lead us into discussing how we look at failure. Freaconomics podcast recently did a 4 part series on failure. I recommend listening. It part 1 Amy Edmonsin talks about the Spectrum of 6 failures. These range from blame worthy to expected. I thought it was helpful to categorize your failure to see how much at fault you are and to help determine the reasons for it.
Small crowd. Who didn’t change their clocks?
Some ran. Flintstone led a ruck themed workout for the rest.

I was out-manned, outgunned, outworked and probably many more things this morning. Blueprint let me take the Q and because he posted some verbiage on Slack, I wanted to end with some USMC trivia as he is a Marine. He couldn’t answer so the other two would, but Black Flag is also a Marine so it all fell to Freon. We did three burpees for every wrong USMC trivia answer at the end of the workout. We found out Black Flag was a marine based on how confident and boisterous he answered the USMC founding question.
It was lots of fun and I chose this work as it hit a lot of support muscles we often neglect as well as major groups.
