WARMUP: Danger Zone Burpees – listen to the song Danger Zone and every time the word “Danger” is said, you do a burpee.
THE THANG: One center station and five stations set up around the center approximately – Center = 10 thrusters

PAX start at center, perform exercise, that rifle carry to station 1, perform exercise, rifle carry back to center; and repeat going to each station. After final station, head to center and do another 10 thrusters, then run 1/4 mile (as a Mary per round).

PAX ran this through three times.

COT: Discussed death of a friend (shared previously) and asked for prayers for his family, and then shared a favorite poem I like to live by:

Man in the Glass – unknown

When you get what you want in your struggle for self
and the world makes you king for a day
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself
and see what that man has to say

For it isn’t your father or mother or wife
who judgment upon you must pass
The one whose verdict counts the most in your life
is the one staring back from the glass

You may be like Jack Horner and chisel a plum
and think your a wonderful guy
But the man in the glass says you’re only a bum
if you can’t look him straight in the eye

He’s the fellow to please never mind all the rest
for he’s with you clear to the end
And you’ve passed your most dangerous difficult test
if the man in the glass is your friend

You may fool the whole world down the pathway years
And get pats on the back as pass
But your final reward will be heartaches and tears
If you’ve cheated the man in the glass.
