I recently heard a statistic about Farragut high school that included the fact three students took their own lives in a single school year. I encouraged the PAX to daily challenge their kids to be different than most others in school and be kind to and stand up for their classmates who are being bullied.

On the way we stopped about every 3/4 mile for more of the same PT, 20 Merkins, 20 Lawnmowers per arm and 20 Ruck up gas pumpers. Once we got back to the park we went looking for cookie butter at TJ’s, but alas, I always forget they aren’t open that early so we did more of the same PT. We still had minutes left for one more peak at TJ’s and then cashed out with 10 of all the PT.
