THE THANG: Partner A Farmer Carries two cinder blocks, Partner B bear crawls. Partners swap tasks when the farmer carrier gives up. Simple. Do this all the way around Lake Braddock Secondary School. Not Easy. MARY: Ring of fire calf raises with the cinder block. Missed you today, Pop. ANNOUNCEMENTS: 9/11 Stair Climb, Dads Camp
COT: Most things that you should do in life are simple: Eat the apple instead of the Oreo. Go to bed at a decent hour. Those things aren’t always easy. Today’s beatdown was simple, but not easy. Having a friend/fellow/partner with you made it easier. Don’t be afraid to reach out for help to make those simple choices easier.
