That’s what she said.

Chief isn’t really known for planning out his Qs. He is more of a problem solver who has the long-term vision in place, is always thinking on the fly, and adjusting as needed. He responds to the needs of his people, always looking for ways to challenge them and himself.

Haters will say he flys by the seat of his pants and pulls answers out of his ass, but he would disagree. See having all the answers before you start is easier and that just isn’t how he rolls. A Chief Rockpusher doesn’t take the easy way. For example, it would be easier to workout regularly and be in shape before you Q. However, spending most mornings “hunting”, not posting for a month, losing your cardio, then posting when you have the Q…that makes it harder and that is how Chief prefers it. It is a way of life!

Anyway, 8 real HIMs showed up for a pre-planned….well, probably pre-planned Chief Beatdown.

Warmup:
SSH 15 In Cadence
Cotton Pickers 15 IC
Imperial Walkers 15 IC

Thang:

Mosey to the lower parking lot.

Trail Of Tears – do escalating burpees at every other line (1 at the first, then 2, then 3, then 4…all the way to 16, which was the length of the parking lot). You cant just walk between lines though. This is a Chief Q, we don’tdo easier. Instead, bear crawl between the first 5 lines, broad jump between the next 5, lunge walk the last 6. Brutal! Pastor Clever and Gumby finished first and got in some extra credit flutter kicks and such. This was for HIMs only, not for the HERs!

Now for a little corner work in the same parking lot. 25 Merkins in corner 1, nur to the next, 25 WW1 sit ups, nur to the 3rd, 50 LBCs, nur the the last corner for 100 squats.

Mosey up the hill and do a lap around the park. Time!

Announcements:
Workout at the Storm Christmas Day (Folsom closed), Mt Hollywood at 7am Monday. Christmas attire is encouraged for Saturday’s Folsom workout. There will be beer. We miss you Huck and Roadie.

Prayer Requests:
Unspoken, Montross’ aunt, families at Christmaz. Also, Def Leppard, Douche Canoe, and those running the half-marathon. Keep the 5k in your prayers too.

10 showed up at Snoball’s and 3 of them went on a Ruck.

We ran out of time to complete so we started to mosey back. Out the back of the park.

Then ran backwards back to the start.

The Moleskin:

No names mentioned but one of the Pax let one rip, it was loud. I sang perfectly the beginning of the song each time followed by 5 Burpee’s. The crowd loved my singing.

Prayers for many. But, I will give a special note for FIA Digit hit and killed by a car. Prayers for her family.

Double check streets always before you cross. Don’t cross if you are not awake enough to pay attention. Don’t listen to other Pax members saying it is clear. You might save them or vice versa.

Thanks as always for the opportunity to Q,

Gastone

Today marks the end of the 40 day spiritual challenge, at least as it was defined.  Hopefully the challenge will continue each day forward.  Those of you who have been read Ecclesiastes for the first time may have been a little surprised and confused by its words.  The message and the wisdom of Ecclesiastes is that life is filled with high points and low points, but the thing to always remember is the God rejoices with peaks of life and strengthens us through the valleys.  Keeping a God centered life will help always keep life in proper perspective.

I hope that today doesn’t mark and end for anyone, but only a move into focusing on another book of God’s word.  Also, continue to pray for your Pax and others among us.

Tiger

This was the first day of a PrisonBreak working from the Ingles parking lot. It has been determined that a stretch of main road used from the previous location was dangerous. The move was accentuated by a recent incident where a FiA PAX was struck and killed by a vehicle while on a run with an AO.  I will work on mapping the route, but most who post at Crossroads know the gist of it.

6 men fought the fartsack to run some miles and 1 for a solo ruck. BC ruck Club was very light. Swanson plans to address his other members as of why. YHC was a bit late due to stopping by Folsom to direct any incoming PAX to Ingles.

Prayer requests. Crawford family, FiA Lexington(Digits’ family), our M’s and families

YHC took us out in prayer

We all heat of accidents such as Digits’ everyday. It hits home when it’s closer to our family and our F3 family.  At 5:30 AM it’s dark and can be dangerous out in the gloom. Let’s work to stay together, look out for each other, and continue to be as safe as possible out there.
