First "mile" = Burpees followed by a lap, 4 total starting with 20, then 15, then 10, then 5

Second mile = Shoulder taps in cadence followed by a lap with similar pace partner(s), 4 total with same rep #s as before

Third mile = Sumo squats with slowest group starting first then middle group, then speedsters, only time for one lap so group 20 or 30 or 40 reps together depending on when they started the lap

Run home

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Beers for Beetus on 10/24 at Print Shop

COT: prayers for aging parents/inlaws, college age 2.0s, family and friends battling cancer and their caregivers

Strong effort today by all pax with terrific temps around 50 at launch. Everyone took advantage and pushed hard.

Simple weinke with spotlight on importance of looping in a partner (or more than one) when life gets tough and when adversity extends for a long stretch. Don't do life OYO!

Thanks for the hard work by all and the invite from brother Pauly!

WARMUP: BC led that….it involved burpees in cadence, but only after some creative running

THE THANG: Split into 3 groups, was gonna be 4, but Tesh was late. Rotated at Esso's whistle. Band Camp's job was to travel the groups in reverse and …… "encourage" full completion of the exercises

Esso had arms
Shady had core
Slash had legs

It was pretty solid. We know this because Esso could barely move his arms after doing it 3 times, Shady has a massive F3 tramp stamp from the situps, and Slash actually worked out the full duration according to all accounts

MARY: Again Band Camp called more burpees.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Newsletter
14th year convergence at WEP on 9/29

COT: We discussed why shield lock is important. AND that it may not work the first….or second….or third time you try to form one. A man leads from his shield lock, without it I'm not going to be the leader I'm capable of being.

It's kinda like having access to outside consultants who know what's up and are tasked with being honest to you even when you don't want it.
