Never Quit!

Leadership can be defined with personal accolades or accomplishments. What happens when a leader is faced with adversity?  Do they recoil? Give Up?

A leader gives confidence to everyone we will endure and conquer. A leader encourages and loves his community with all of his heart.  A leader recognizes a community is a sum of all it’s parts.  A leader demonstrates and reflects his faith in God.

During these adverse times, we can choose to back down as a community, or press on.

I choose to press on.

Philippians 3:13-14 (NLT)

¹³ No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it,^[a] but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, ¹⁴ I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.

WODS for the Week of 3.22.20

This a bit of a change in our programming and we won’t be meeting at our regular times. During this time, we will continue to program running workouts that you can perform on your own time during the week.  We hope to jump on the bandwagon and make this a joint effort with our awesome gym at Crossfit Springfield.

Workout #1:

12×200 meters = .125 miles or 12x :50 second run.

Rest :60 seconds between intervals.

I would recommend marking your meters if your able too or run :50 seconds.

If your running meters, focus on hitting the same pace each interval.

If your doing the :50 second interval, focus on hitting the same distance each time.

Workout #2:

4 Sets:

Run 400 meters or :90 seconds at a fast pace

Rest 1:00

Run 300 meters or :45 seconds at a fast pace.

Rest 1:00

Run 200 meters or :60 seconds at a fast pace.

Rest 1:00

Run 50 meters or :15 second sprint.

Walk or rest 3:00 minutes between sets.

Fast Pace=Mile PR pace.

These workouts can be ran in the prescribed meters or in a time capacity.

We don’t want to complicate or make this an exact science, but find an area to run and mark your meters or run in the time caps.

Community Effort!

The good and bad of the world sometimes can bleed into our normal everyday routines.  Lets be fearless in the face of adversity, but we also must not be careless.

As a community, we must do our part and be proactive in the things we can control.  Please be diligent in keeping our equipment clean and disposing of our towels appropriately.

This season will pass and let’s continue to control the what we can control to make our gym cleaner and the prevention of spreading the virus.

“G.I. Jane” was originally posted by CrossFit on the Main Site, but not as the workout of the day. It was posted as a video accompanying a different WOD from July 19, 2007.

In the video, Greg Amundson, one of the original CrossFit firebreathers, completed the now-classic benchmark workout at CrossFit Santa Cruz and finished in 10:17.

Background: This hero workout is dedicated to Officer Sean Tuder of the Mobile Police Department who was fatally shot Sunday, January 20, 2019 while following up on an investigation.

Tuder was shot while with a group of officers attempting to arrest 19-year-old Marco Perez, about 3 p.m. Sunday at the Peach Place Inn on Leroy Stevens Road in West Mobile.

“He was one of those guys that certainly resonates in your mind as somebody that’s a true leader and had a true commitment to doing his best in this community to keep it safe and to be a role model for others,” Battiste told news media reporters.

“He was really just getting into that part of his career where he started having an impact on not just the people in the community but the men and women who work here in this department,” said Battiste, who also asked the community to pray for Tuder’s wife, his parents and other family members “because this is going to be a difficult time.”

Tuder was leading an arrest team for Perez who was wanted on multiple firearms and burglary charges by Mobile police and federal authorities. He was subsequently taken into custody after Tuder was shot, Battiste said.

Tuder joined the Mobile Police Department in March 2016 and was assigned to a high crime area of the city. He was honored as the department’s Officer of the Month in August 2017. He was recognized for making numerous drug arrests including four cases submitted for federal prosecution and the recovery of six firearms.

This workout was created by CrossFit Mobile @crossfitmobile (Mobile, Alabama, USA) who hosted an event on January 20, 2020, to commemorate the memories of Tuder.
