THE THANG

Two cones were set approximately 80 yards apart.  PAX partnered up – they cycled through five exercises with one PAX doing AMRAP of one exercise while the other PAX runs to the other cone and back.  One exercise, run, second exercise, run, etc.

  • Hand release merkins
  • Block jumps (with feet together, jump laterally over your block)
  • Block burpees
  • Block curls
  • Block squats

Rinse and repeat until time.  Most pairs did about 3 cycles (That’s about 1.3 miles of running, not counting the scout run).

MOLESKIN

Leadership advice I picked up along the way that can apply to workplace or family.  Give praise in public, give criticism in private.  When people do good things, acknowledge it in the presence of others.  When you correct a behavior or provide discipline to an individual, do it in private to allow them to change their behavior without hurting their reputation.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Good luck to those first time marathoners.
