THE THANG:
Mini-Sasquatch Workout #1: PAX lined up on the sideline and ran to the opposite sideline and performed 10x Merkins, then back to the other sideline for 10x Squats, then back for 10x LBCs, then back for 10 Burpees. This was done twice for a total of 80 reps.
Run #1: PAX left the AO for a one-mile run, stopping about ¾ of the way to perform 3 burpess.
Mini-Sasquatch Workout #2: PAX partnered up with one partner on the goal line and one on the five-yard line where PAX #1 performed 8 jump squats and when complete PAX #2 performed 16 Merkins, with PAX #1 performing his 16 Merkins after PAX #2 finished, and PAX #2 then performing 8 jump squats after PAX #1 finished. The PAX worked their way down the ladder to 1 jump squat and 2 Merkins each.
Run #2: QIC initially instructed the PAX to run 3 laps around the track, and the PAX rejoiced when that was cut to 2 laps for time.
Mini-Sasquatch Workout #3: PAX performed Captain America, starting with 1 Burpee and 4 lateral hops and worked their way up the ladder adding 1 Burpee and 4 lateral hops each time until they got to 10 Burpees and 40 lateral hops.
Run #3: PAX ran one lap.

COT:
Marilyn Ferguson observed, “No one can persuade another to change. Each of us guards a gate of change that can only be opened from the inside. We cannot open the gate of another, either by argument or by emotional appeal.”
This is important to remember when thinking about our own lives and trying to inspire change in others.
We must have patience when we seek change from others and remember that all we can do is give those we love, work with, etc. the keys they need to unlock, or tools they need to tear down, that gate.
Conversely for ourselves, don’t wait for some outside event to force the changes you want to see in your life. Understanding that and committing yourself to make those changes will yield incredible results, and the fact that everybody showed up in the rain this morning demonstrates their ability to make such a commitment.
