WARMUP: Wegs said peace out and ran away. The rest of us stuck around. Warmup stayed local at COT: SSH, cherry picker, low slow squat, merkins, windmill
THE THANG: We ran away from COT towards the bus loop and stopped at the corner for our first exercise…of the backwards accumulator. Started out with 10 bomb jacks followed by Apache 10 count from Mainframe. Next took off through the entrance and up to the front of the school for some Al gores while we waited and then did 20 diamond merkins along with the 10 bombs. Here is where Senator gave us an old school Apache 10 count where we learned about this redwood’s history. Next was back down to the corner where we stopped for 30…30 hammers, then the 20, then the 10. Undertaker picked up the 6 before we got started, because that’s what we do. Got us an Apache 10 from undertaker at this stop. We then ran to another entrance of the school for 40 squats, then 30 down to 10. To the back of the school we packed in 50 flutters down to the 10. Then we stayed there for 60 calve raises down to the 10. Then we ran back to COT. On the way, there may have been some merlot deposits but I think that’s what happens sometimes when you work extra hard and push…so good on you pax.
MARY: had a little time for some Mary
ANNOUNCEMENTS: newsletter goodies
COT: Wegs came back and left us without a wave. So prayers for him, lol.

Praying for Drop Thrill
It was an honor to spend this morning with so many leaders in our community. 16 was the count for 4.65 miles. The route was as follows: R on 160 towards downtown, L on Main, Cross over Clebourne to Springs, R on Summersby where Springs ends, R on Unity, R on Tom Hall, Cross over Main to Clebourne, R on 160, L into parking lot.
Today’s COT was a reminder of the value in posting each morning. We have the opportunity to live life with High Impact Men that make us better. We discussed fatherhood, health challenges, stress, and being the leaders our community needs. Keep a lookout for upcoming challenges from The Fort’s SLT. We are needed now more than ever.
Thanks for the opportunity to lead, Anchorman. And thanks to the PAX for helping me start my day off on the right foot!
Aye!
