Run 100yd back to original goal line then run 90 yd to far 10 yd line and perform 9 reps of each of the same 5 exercises. Run 90yd back to goal line then run 80yd to far 20yd line for 8reps…. keep decreasing 10 yards and 1 rep.

Made it to the 50 yd line before time was getting low so for the 40yd, 30yd, 20yd, 10yd we only performed merkins and we mixed in some Nur and bear crawls and crawl bears instead of running.

Finished off with mosey back to COT and 1 minute of Mary (flutters and American hammers)

ANNOUNCEMENTS: The Final Countdown coming 9/10, stuff the bus, Invergence Aug 13

COT:

We rocked the first half, then Badlands rolled us in the second half. Good energy from all throughout!

Cake Boss made a fashionably late appearance at 0558. We gave him full credit for a post because…well….WWJD!

A reference to high school reunions brought reflections on HS friends that remain in contact today and those that walked with us through that life stage so many years ago. gratitude for both groups and reminders of the value of what we have with our F3 brothers.

Prayers for Yard Sale and the flux he’s navigating. Thanks for the chance to lead!
