There is a difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference.  The little difference is attitude.  The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.  You are the sum of the people you are surrounded by most.  Stay positive my friends!

Pax partner up and pick a cone to start at.  Perform 8 reps of exercise, bear crawl to next cone.  Make your way around the Octagon and back to the cone you started at.  Meet in the middle of the Octagon (Pax finished about the same time).  Once in the middle, Q leads 10 wide merkins, immediately followed by 10 regular merkins, immediately followed by 10 diamond merkins.  Recover.

Pax go back to their original starting cone, repeating the routine this time performing 16 of each exercise.  No bear crawls, once exercise is completed, Pax run on the outside of the Octagon making a loop and going to the next cone.  Continue again until original cone is reached.  Pax lead Mary in the middle of the Octagon.
