FNGs: None
COUNT: 21
CONDITIONS: 77 degrees and HUMID!

WARMUP: Black Jack was invited to lead the warmup due to his demonstration of poor effort and poor attitude. He brought the poor energy into the circle and offered an uninspiring warmup. After a couple of attempts, the warmup responsibility was taken from him and order was restored.

THE THANG: Partner up and RUN! The final run for this cohort before they move into the Work Phase of the program. Five out of Nine 4:13 Strong men set a PR today! Also posting a new PR was Young and Restless!

MOLESKINE: As men approach the finish line, they have the tendency to let up and coast to the finish. The challenge was made today to not be those men…to give the best effort of the six weeks today for the final run. We had five men accept that challenge!

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Signing Day is Friday, 8/22 at 11:30am. Come celebrate with us and enjoy some Hot Chicken and Mac & Cheese.

COT: Prayers for guidance and wisdom as the men are interviewing and considering job offers.
