THE THANG:
Ruck over to Central High School. We walked by Litton’s Restaurant. It was founded in 1946 as a grocery store and market.
At the Central football stadium we started with 10 Merkins with rucks on.
Next we rucked the stadium. The stadium has four sets of stairs. Going from one side of the stadium to the other, we rucked up one stairway, back down the next, up the third, and back down the fourth.
Next 15 Merkins. Then ruck the stadium again.
This is when we found the wide open door to the press box and naturally had to go in and take a pic.
Again 15 Merkins and ruck the stadium again
Finally 10 more Merkins and head back to the AO

THE THANG:
Spur…
When choosing leaders, experience matters
The best players do not always make the best coaches
The virtuous leader encourages other men to lead early and often

Always second guess your first response.

Most often our second response should be an apology.

Don’t teach how to be a “good man”.
Teach being good at being a man.

MARY:
More coffee added to my abdomen

COT:

“If an emotion can’t change the condition or the situation you’re dealing with, it is likely an unhelpful emotion. Or, quite possibly, a destructive one. But it’s what I feel. Right, no one said anything about not feeling it. No one said you can’t ever cry. Forget “manliness.” If you need to take a moment, by all means, go ahead.
Real strength lies in the control or, as Nassim Taleb put it, the domestication of one’s emotions, not in pretending they don’t exist.”

– Ryan Holiday, The Obstacle is the Way
