Long story short, we did some work on our way to the college. After reaching the target we utilized the entrance going into the college for some hill work. After it was all said and done we got plenty of manual work in and and 3 miles of lung expansion work in. Not a bad start for a Saturday.
COT:
Announcements: The Roundup 50 miler next Saturday starting at 5:30am until 5:30am Sunday. Pax lunch sometime in the near future.
Prayers: The Dill family, Huckleberry and family, Turtleman and family, Wirenut’s family and some I can’t remember.
Thanks for letting me lead another one!
Wichita out and on to the next one!
It was awesome! A lot of Burpees!
We had a full house and the gloom was right! Brave souls showed up for week 3 of the IPC and as always it was a beatdown! All Pax got some and some Pax left some but hey that’s the way it goes!
I apologize but I don’t remember the prayer request or announcements.🤦🏼♂️
Thanks men for letting me lead!
Wichita out and on to the next one!
I don’t remember exactly what we did but it was brutal! Plus I was honored to have The Def Leppard in attendance!
Thanks for the opportunity to lead!
Wichita on to the Next one…
Rolled in to a few HIM’s putting in some EC like the main attraction wasn’t going to be enough, but little did they know what was about to go down! We also had some thangs to celebrate: 1: Volts B-day! Happy birthday Volt, we finally figured it out! 2: It was Slaw’s 1,000 post!! Congrats Slaw I was an honored to Q it! That’s serious dedication and a lot of hard work and early mornings! Way to go! With all that out of the way it was time to Pay the Man!

REAL WORK:
100 Burpee’s in 10 min.
Moseyed to the hill on Sportsman Dr.
11’s – Mike Tyson’s and Row Merkins: count both merkins as 1
Moseyed to the flag and said the pledge
I noticed the horse arena was occupied so we kept going to the pond with the walking track around it. On the way we heard a train and so like any seasoned Pax would do Sparky said “5 burpee’s for the train” so we stopped and did 5 burpee’s.
At the pond we did:
ESCALATOR
10 Merkins then took a lap
20 Squats then took 2 laps
30 LBC’s
we ran out of time and didn’t get to finish. To finish it was going to be 3 laps after the LBC’s then 40 CDD’s and 4 laps 50 Flutter Kicks and 5 laps
Prayer Request:
Westside’s grandma, Turtleman, Broke, Big Pappy, Huckleberry, all the teacher and staff, our country
Once again, thank you HIM’s for letting me lead!
Wichita out and on to the next one!
RUN/RUCK/WALK
Ball Joint reached out and said he had an open Q for 12/30 and ask if I wanted it. It was a no brainer, of course I wanted it. As I thought of what kind of work we would do I knew merkins would fit in perfectly and with it being the end of the year and the last workout at Folsom for the year all I could think of was finishing strong. We’ve all had our ups and downs throughout the year but so what! It’s life and life happens to everyone. So if you find yourself in the ups of or the down don’t think you’re special, you’re not! What is special is have brothers you know will be there in the gloom either looking to pick someone up (maybe you maybe me) or looking to (you or maybe me) to pick them up. At different times we’re both of these things. One thing I’ve observed is that if you’re not getting in the gloom it’s hard to be picked up or a picker upper! Anyway… enough of that… let’s get to what you came to see. THE WORK! One other thing, I knew it would need to be a good one as I had heard through the grape vine that a couple of elites may be there and they were! Check the Pax list

What a great year it has been! Some of y’all are wondering how I could say that. Let me tell ya… life is not about circumstances, it’s all about who you turn to in those circumstances. And if you don’t know Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior then you have had a rough year and a rough life for that matter. So with the most serious of tones “Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.””
Mark 1:14-15 ESV
Thanks for pushing me men, can’t wait till next year!
Wichita out and on to the next one!
