COT:
Three buckets full of pain suggestions were spread out over .25 mile to get in some running as well.
Three groups moseyed around agonizing over what they would draw from the buckets, with one bucket containing only burpee counts.
Breaking into groups gives us a great chance for fellowship, perhaps with guys we see all the time, but may not know very well. Thanks @weezer for the opportunity. ASSASSIN 🔫

We then moseyed over to the track to celebrate the birthday of our beloved state Mississippi.
Fun Facts: Mississippi joined the Union as the 20th state on December 10th 1817 and gets its name from the Mississippi River, which forms its western border. Mississippi is known for being the birthplace of American blues music and is also famous for its fertile soil, which makes it an agricultural powerhouse, as well as for its catfish farming industry.
