Q: Barn Door
I arrived early to check out my planned route and beatdown location. When I got back to the parking lot Cheap Seats arrived, shortly followed by Picasso for a little extra pre-run of about 1.5 miles.
We had to hustle to catch up with Boji, Oscar, Crowd Source and Peg Leg for the normal pre-run. There was a DOA sighting during the pre-run as well.
17 PAX arrived at the Flags and heard the Core principles, Mission, credo, and disclaimer.
We stayed right there in the parking lot to jump into Warm-a-rama which consisted of 15 IC each: SSH, Tappy Tap, Imperial Walkers, and Cherry Pickers
The PRE-THANG
We moseyed to the church parking lot to complete some agility exercises. Upon arrival at the church we ran into Overtime out on a ruck with a buddy.
We completed the following agility moves twice in the parking lot to get even more warmed up.
- High Knees
- Butt Kicks
- Super Marios
- Lunges
- Sprint (once)
We moseyed back over to the small park to complete the THANG.

Circle of Trust:
You need to find ways to manage stress. Some stress to your body is OK, but a lot of stress can wreck your body in more ways than you think. It will wreck your attitude, sleep, diet, cause inflammation, anxiety, headaches, etc… The list goes on.
F3 has been a major stress reliever for me over the last several years as well as having a ShieldLock to talk about what is causing my stress.
I highly recommend finding whatever it is that works for you to help manage your stress, wherever that stress is coming from.
“Everyday brings a choice: To practice stress OR to practice peace. You get to decide.”
Cheap Seats led us out in prayer.
Aye!
