The Thang
Thang 1: Indian Run – Started off with an Indian Run around the perimeter of the school. Offered to do 2 groups for anybody that needed to MASH but all PAX stayed in one line and pushed through.
Thang 2: 11’s – Had 3 sets of 11’s planned depending on how long it took, but we got through only the 1st set
1st Set – Squrls > run to top of hill and do 10 Grady Corns > Burpees

- Bodies Hit the Floor
- This is done to the song Bodies by Drowning Pool (3:21). Start in plank position. When the song says “Let The Bodies Hit The Floor” do a Plank Jack (26 Total). When the song counts (1, 2, 3, 4) do a Merkin (21 Total). Always plank when not doing Plank Jacks or Merkins and never let your Bodies Hit The Floor.
- LBC’s till 6:00
Circle of Trust
Came across this video and thought it applied to myself and many other PAX:
I see you fathers
I see the work you’re putting in for your family
The early mornings, the late nights, extra shifts and the toll it’s taking on your body and spirit
I know your secret anxieties, that you’re not providing enough for your family or that you can’t
spend enough time with them
I know you won’t tell a soul how you really feel
About the crushing weight of being a provider and the strength it takes to hold it together when everyone around you needs you to keep your head straight and your emotions buried
I’m gonna be straight with you
I’m not giving you permission to feel sorry for yourself
This is the family that you created and chose
It is your responsibility and you should feel that weight on your shoulders
But I hope you use that pressure as fuel to push yourself to be a better leader, comforter, teacher, coach, mentor and friend
Yeah it’s a huge responsibility but also a great privilege
Keep going
It’s ok to struggle but don’t give up
Too many fathers have given up and walked away
Don’t buckle under the pressure
You were built for this
Naked Man Moleskin
Much appreciation to Hatchet for having my 6 and to all the PAX that came out to get 1% better with me. Don’t be afraid to lean on others to help push you, I know I need it!
