The Thang
We broke into two teams to carry some sandbags as we started down the path towards the bridge on a ruck.
At designated stops we did some PT and switched up who was carrying the sandbags.
Stop 1
Bear Crawl out 10 crawls, do 10 hand release merkins, and then lunge walk back. If you did not have a sandbag on the trip here it was your turn.
Stop 2
25 Squats OYO. Again we switched up who was carrying the sandbags. This time if you did not have a sandbag you had to Rifle Carry down the path to the road while the other members carried the sandbags.
Stop 3
20 Flutter Kicks in Cadence followed by 15 Big boys on my up, all with the ruck sack. We then switched up again who carried the sandbags and then those without a sandbag did a Rifle Carry back down the path.
Stop 4-
Bear Crawl out 10 crawls, 10 Hand release Merkins, lunge walk back. Switch up sandbags again.
Stop 5-
25 OYO squats, 20 Curls, 20 Ruck Sack Swings. Switch Sandbags and head for the flats.

I found this message online and wanted to share it with the PAX this morning.
Surround yourself with people who push you, who challenge you, you make you laugh, who make you better, and who make you happy.
When I think of this message i think and reflect on my past and future with F3 Plainfield. 400 posts is just a number and as important as it was to me in keeping me accountable to myself and my goals, in the end it is just a number. I would have never gotten to this number without all the men of this region. Many of you have pushed me to accelerate to a level I never thought I had. You have challenged me to keep moving when it would have been easy to stay fuck it and quit. I wake up each morning and post for the men of this region who push me and challenge me and will continue to do so each morning. As many have helped me along my journey, I am here for the man to my left and to my right each day who needs to be pushed, challenged, or needs a brother to lean on. I show up because you all make me laugh, make me a better man, and make me happy each morning. I appreciate each and every one of you and posting in the gloom is the best start to my day.

While today I celebrated a milestone in my 400th post it was just another day of showing up and putting in the work. I will continue to set the bar on the next number, accomplishment or challenge and continue to push myself each and everyday towards those goals. This is a lifestyle choice and like many men beside me I have taken the red pill and look forward to the next challenge each day.
