NMM
We lift heavy so that we can carry heavy things – physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Men who prioritize training are resilient and reliable, and as such, everybody wants what they have. But you have to learn to say “no” to some things. If you pour out everything you have, you will have nothing left to your family or for yourself.

Also, know that you have a brotherhood to help you shoulder the weight. You’re either going through it, just went through it, or will go through it. When you get overwhelmed, ask for help. You are needed, desired, and loved. Don’t let temporary problems cause you to succumb to a permanent solution. Talk, listen, share, and care. We need you. Your family needs you. And your community needs you.

Aye!

After Dora, we ran all the way down to the front of the school where we partnered up.

Ruck Club

We had 6 ruck club members and 5 runners which is a new ruck club historical marker. Thank you to all who made this accomplishment happen. Grateful to your dedication.

Very specific running route instructions were given and none of the 5 runners ran the route. But… fellowship. That happened. So we are good.

Prayers for Karin Ms Double D, those traveling, and dealing with our kids.

Don’t Get It Caught in The Zipper

WARMUP:
Run up to old hot dog place parking lot corner of Main and Clebourne, plank then wait for the group to explain the thing.

THE THANG:
THE ZIPPER
– Ran to end of Springs St to Summersby, then took a right to corner of Unity and Lockman. That was the start, or hoped it to be.
– For every road we headed west on (from Unity St, ending at Pine St), we did 10 squats, 10 merkins.
– For every road we headed EAST on (from Pine St, ending at Unity), we did 10 mountain climbers (double count) and 10 bombjacks.
– Whenever we crossed Springs St, we did a burpee.
– Proceeded street to street until we got back to Main and Tom Hall.

This was the plan, but evidently I did not communicate it clearly enough. Even so, PAX figured it out and got all the miles and pain stations in.

Guys were REALLY moving today, we all put in at least 3.5-3.75 miles, yet still got back to COT in time to do some Mary
Flutters
American Hammers
Hello Dollies
More
Next time I will add more pain stations.

Thanks self for the opportunity to lead.
