Fun with buckets

Leave a comment

Everyone loved my Q this past Friday. We had 3 buckets placed around the parking lot with various exercises to pick from each bucket. Many of you have struggled through it before. If you haven’t it truly is one of the more inventive and talked about workouts in the Fort. Just ask me about it next time. Really.

Somehow Anchorman was the hero as he managed to pick the one ticket that had only 2 burpees. Winner.

We had a great COT, with Spectre bringing his heart after the very long few weeks that he and his family have been through. If you’ve given them a thought or a prayer recently he is grateful.

Boogie Down can use some prayers dealing with some “Senioritis” (as we have been there) and props to Double D for this weekend’s wedding festivities. Sprocket’s excited about a 2.0 baptism and I’m traveling this weekend for the death of my stepfather. I’m sure there were others I’m missing. Safe travels for Peach Stand.

Choose not to cheat 2.0

Leave a comment

In preparation for my Q at Ballroom, YHC reviewed a previous backblast from 2018 where the theme was choosing not to cheat based on a book by Andy Stanley. In that workout, we discussed the idea of decision making and cheating based on prioritization.

YHC still suffers from poor decision making in spite of the clear model that Concentrica offers. It’s a life long battle that I need my faith and accountability from this group to support me in making improvements.

In keeping the same theme, the Pax were challenged not to cheat on the workout today with good form and group accountability.
