First, we did 25 Burpees

Then we did two 5-minute AMRAPs

1) 25 Merkens then bear crawl and 25 LBC’s return bear crawl

2) 25 air squats, then broad jump and 25 Carolina dry docks return via broad jump

Then we went on a 25 minute mosey; we had a 22 pound custom coupon we ran to the W&OD trail, stopping twice to do sets of 25 air squats, and 25 Merkins; we then went out on the trail and did an Indian Run, passing the coupon back. Did that for a few minutes then we headed back to the AO everyone made it on time.

MARY: Nah

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Popeye returns September 30; check out information regarding the grunt on other channels also on November 8 the church is having it’s an annual 5K;

COT: YHC related that, tomorrow, he heads out on a trip for his 25th wedding anniversary; YHC related that he married up. Also, he related that it probably would’ve worked out for him as a husband, but thankfully he found F3. F3 makes you much better husband. In particular, YHC noted he really gets a lot out of hearing the younger guys’ COTs regarding what they’re going through; those COT‘s have made him a better husband. Words of wisdom: after 25 years YHC says there’s really not much worth arguing about, and the things he did argue about he was probably wrong. So don’t spend a lot of time arguing. SYITG!
