The group gathered and we start to funnel out between our ruckers and the bootcampers. Looks like I was taking 6 for bootcamp and Cornhole (respect) was getting the other 8 for rucking. Quick intro, quicker disclaimer, no FNGs so we take off.

Today was going to include a lot of running, and probably burpees for our month long love fest with these terribles of terribles. Still time to sign up for the 3 burpee challanges this summer!

Nice & warmed up so mosey around the back side of Rivergate to front of Target. My LKW brothers (who left me today for the ruck) would say this, but I’ve gotten too predictable with the Red balls of pain at Target…so today I ran around them and kept going. We ended up another 500 yards away around the back side of Home Depot. Hit the wall for some fun.

Line up in Peoples Chair
1 guy goes BTTW Shuffle around the corner wall for as fas as he can go
ends in Flutter kicks until all PAX get their turn on the BTTW Shuffle
Last guy didn’t get his flutters, so sit down and all PAX in cadence finish another 20 count

So much fun, rinse and repeat, small changes.
In People’s Chair 20 count overhead presses
After the shuffle do LBCs

Mosey over towards River Blue

I gave my small speech around the Theme of the Month = FAITH
I made sure everyone was up to speed with June’s theme on Faith, defined it with our helpful monthly theme doc…but then shared my own experience with Faith. Started with our 3rd F being Faith, and that it does NOT mean simply Christianity, but to be bigger and better for those around you and your community. But this month’s theme is centered in the Chirstian faith. I spoke about our Friday bible studies at Chicken and Wisdom II right here on Fridays. How I’ve connected more with the men of that group and with my own faith more in those two years than my whole life. I see the men that have true faith in God and how that peace can transform their lives. I’ve transferred that growth into my own family and it has made huge differences over this time. All I wanted to say was all men are welcome at these studies with us!

Mosey to the Fountain
Time for the worst part of the day… A Burpee Ladder!
Start with 10 burpees – run 50 yards – do 9 more – run back – do 8…you get the picture
We’re all sweating and gasping by the time we finished, 55 burpees later!

Move to the benches by the fountain…ruckers walk over and start harassing us… but not like they could out run us! They didn’t even look like they were sweating… (Minus Cornhole of course)
Bench Work
40 Step Ups
25 Irkins
30 Dips

Long mosey from the fountain back around the front of Home Depot all the way back to COT
