WARMUP: Started with the standard warm up of side straddle hops, etc. Then, ran 100 yards, stopping every 10 yards to do 2 merkans and 2 body weight squats (alternating). On the return run, we stopped every 10 yards for 5 merkans and 5 burpees (alternating).
THE THANG: PAX started on the goal line for rounds of exercises involving the coupon.

After each round, the PAX rifle carried the coupon for 10 yards. The exercises were cumulative; we did one 10-count exercise the first round, and 12 10-count exercises in the 12th and final round. The PAX began at one end of the football field and ended up on the other end.

The first round was curls with the coupon.

The 12th round was curls (2 sets), dips, shoulder press, jump overs, leg lifts, atlas shrugs, magellans, squats, mercans (2 sets), and kettlebell swings; all using the coupon.

The PAX returned to the start point on the far side of the field by alternating murder bunnies (10 yards) and carrying the coupon (20 yards).

CoT:
Rule 4: Compare Yourself to Who You Were Yesterday, Not Who Someone Else is Today
No matter how good you are at something, or how you rank your accomplishments,there is someone out there who makes you look incompetent.
You might object: I should be winning at everything! But winning at everything might only mean that you’re not doing anything new or difficult. You might be winning but you’re not growing, and growing might be the most important form of winning.
Happiness is to be found in the journey uphill, and not in the fleeting sense of satisfaction awaiting at the next peak.
