19 Pax posted today in Badlands for our first official Running Q day.  With less than 24 hours to modify my original Coupon Beating I had planned, it came down to a “DECISION”, show up prepared or slack and bushwack a program with little results.

The message today was DECISION and though it wasn’t sent very clearly due to lack of oxygen in my lungs the core message is that in your life the most important thing you must do is make a DECISION everyday.  The DECISION will lead to a defining moment that may allow you all to experience something that will fundamentally change you!  These DECISIONS can challenge your actions and challenge your beliefs.  Leaders make DECISIONS and with that one must embrace adversity, acknowledge fear and prepare for action.  In the end we all will have DECISION in life that will define a moment.  Finally, “No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar”

Pax started with general statement of I am no expert, modify and don’t get hurt.  Then we did 6 Werewolf, 6 Slow Monkey Humpers into a Slaughter Starter.

LET THE RUNNING BEGIN…

To the first lot we lined up for Merkin Rockettes (Not sure what to call these) but all lined up and each man did 1 merkin and held plank and we went down the line and then back doing 2 merkins then back to the other end with 3 merkins.  RUN…

To next lot and into three lines all in Al Gore pose.  The men in front sprint to curb and back and then to back of line to hold Al Gore while the next in line sprints to curb and continue till all had turn.  RUN…

before next lot into two lines and front two sprint to next lot and the rest of the pax follow suit to last lot.  On the six for “X/O” and Starfish Crunch.  RUN…

Indian Run back to Flag of BadLands and at the outhouse sprint into flag, regroup, RUN…

Headed to Bleachers for 30 dips and 30 Inverted Merkins, stretch till 6 in, RUN…

Reverse Indian run (front to back), then Scout Run with a 2 second sprint then to back of line to last lot.  Long stretch to toes and then arms stretched high for 5 second count, RUN…

Ran past the football lot but needed to round back to ensure PAX stayed as one group.  Once together we ended with a Route 66 RUN with each street light we did 1,2,3,4,etc Merkins and added up till back at beginning of Badlands Flag.

PAX did multiple core till 6 was in.  With all circled up I stated an inspiration line, “DECISION”…RUN…to church around lot and back to final PAX circle up with SandCrab showing group a great stretch that definitely challenged most men!

HatterChatter happened and thanks to all that posted with me today!
