As the afternoon temps start to rise, so does the difficulty of the workouts at the Gashouse JV site known as Midoriyama. Since it’s technically still Winter, even though it’s 70 degrees, I decided to keep the workout JV. After the disclaimer and a very short warmup, we headed off to the dam where the majority of the work was done.
Buy In – 19 Burpees
The “VID”
Corkscrews IC
Oblique crunches
V ups
Imperial Walker Squats
Diamond Merkins
19 reps of each exercise then run up the gravel road to the gate and back. Repeat for 3 rounds. No one is done until everyone is done so when you finish jump in with someone and push them to the end.
Cash Out – 19 Burpees
Finished up with a long mosey back to the flag.

Nine PAX gathered at The Sword this morning for a run or ruck and to discuss the book of Proverbs.
Instead of choosing a specific verse to discuss this morning, YHC decided to discuss the importance of daily bible reading and specifically the book of Proverbs. If you don’t have a daily reading plan, or are unsure of where or how to start, try reading in the book of Proverbs each day. In Proverbs, God teaches us principles that will bring us peace and contentment, rebukes us for our sinful acts, teaches us how to live, and trains us on righteous living.

The gloom was in full effect this morning when YHC rolled in a little before 5:45 to get in some training for the Biloxi Half with Freight, SA and Gold Digger. Quiche and Buckeye were already logging miles and stopped back by to meet up with Sargento, who was the scheduled Q and had committed to some EC. After standing around in the rain waiting for our fearless leader, newly appointed Nantan, pusher of all things rocky and generally good guy to show it became evident that he had chosen to abandon his tribe this morning and was most likely still enjoying the fartsack. I guess he spent a little too much time with Allen Tate at the Christmas Party last week and developed some of his bad habits. No choice but to leave him at this point, maybe he’ll show for the regular start time.
6:30 – Quiche, Buckeye and Virus at the AO, but still no Sargento
6:45 – Seuss arrives at the AO after a run at Crossroads, but still no Sargento
7:15 – Everyone back at the AO after various distance runs, but still no Sargento
What could have happened? Is everything ok? Should we go to his house and check on him? Turns out all is well, he evidently just had a late night and possibly a little too much egg nog. Gonna take a while to live this one down brother!

***PSA – if you’re planning to come to the Christmas Party please go on the Preblast and sign up “officially” so that we can get a good count and make sure we have adequate sides, desserts, etc…
As for this morning, YHC intentionally didn’t plan the workout and decided that it would be made up as we went along. 8 PAX in total joined in for what might have ended up being a “little” heavy on the upper body, but all in all a fairly adequate workout. It went like this:
All are regulars so they know the disclaimer
Pledge
WU
Mosey to the bus lot at Rankin for some four corners. 5 Big Boys, 10 Mike Tyson’s, 15 Squats, 20 Mountain climbers. Double the reps and repeat. Double again and repeat. Math is getting too difficult for YHC at this point, so lets do something else.
Mosey to the wall in front of Rankin for some Lindsey’s. 10 dips / 30 derkins, 15 dips / 25 derkins, 20 dips / 20 derkins, 25 dips / 15 derkins, 30 dips / 10 derkins.
Mosey the long way through town to the BB&T wall and knock out some 11’s. Hip Slappers (IC count) on one side and Burpee’s on the other. THIS SUCKED!!!
Time’s almost up, so back to the flag and we’re done.

Strong group of guys out this morning. Upper body may be a little sore later today, but we’re all better for showing up and getting the week started off right. This is a solid AO, so try to make it out when you can and reach out to Freon to sign up for a Q.

11 PAX at the premier afternoon AO in Gashouse for a simple, yet effective workout. Disclaimer (no FNG’s), Pledge (no flag, Site Q fail!!) then a warmup (might have been some poor cadence called by YHC).

9 – Mike Tysons then a lap
18 – Hip Slappers then a lap
18 – Dirty Hookups then a lap
18 – Mike Tysons then a lap

180 American Hammers
270 LBC’s
Head back to the flag stopping at each light pole (9 total) for 9 calf raises, 9 Rocky Balboa’s and 9 IW Squats. Alternate between high knees and butt kickers on the runs.
Time was up.

YHC didn’t have any words of wisdom prepared, but being the HIM he is, Defib stepped up and provided some inspirational thoughts.
Luke 12:48 – “From everyone who has been give much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.”
We are all very fortunate compared to most and should strive to give back in all that we do.

Been a while since YHC has had a weekday Q at Folsom and it was good to be back in the gloom with a great group of guys. 12 total this morning, all on time and ready to work. Some thought that Sparky might show, but others informed them that he was campaigning for the year end “Fartsacker of the Year” award and would likely sleep in. I guess he’s like Sister Act and will do anything to get another medal. Here’s what we did:
Disclaimer
Warmup
Pledge
Mosey up to the road that runs behind the AG Building to get started with The Thang.
Start at one end of the road with 5 Burpee’s, then run to the opposite end for 10 HR Merkins. Back to the start for 5 Burpee’s, then to the opposite end for 20 Imperial Walker Squats. Continue in this manner with 30 American Hammers, 40 Mountain Climbers, 50 Big Boys, 40 Mountain Climbers, 30 American Hammers, 20 Imperial Walker Squats and 10 HR Merkins. This routine took a while, but everyone was pushing hard and got in a couple of miles in the process.
Time is a little short so lets stop at the triangle in the road for a quick Dora. One partner runs up the “steeper” side of the triangle while the other does the work.
100 SSH
200 CDD
300 Flutter Kicks
Back to the start right as the clock hit 0615.

Too often we let fear control our lives. A fear of failure, fear of being ridiculed or fear of something being too difficult consumes us and dictates how we live. The Bible teaches us that God is with us in all that we do and our strength and endurance comes from Him. Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us to trust in the Lord with all our heart and he will make our path straight.
Remember – Dead Last Finish is better than Did Not Finish which trumps Did Not Start!

Verse of the Day
Matthew 7:7 – “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.”
Be careful and don’t take this verse out of context. This is not meant to imply that you can ask for anything you want and God will give it to you. You must first have a relationship with God and seek his will. He will hear your prayers and answer them according to his will.
