20 men rolled out of bed and got better this morning. There were ruckers, runners, and bootcampers. Conditions were pleasant (44 and clear). Here’s what we did:
The Thang
“The Impossible Mile Challenge”
- 1 Lap Burpee Broadjump
- 1 lap Lunge Walk
- 1 lap Bear Crawl
- 1 lap Run
Band Camp finished first and thus was crowned “King of the Ring.”

We take on these challenges to prove our strength. On the surface, this was a physical beast. But during the challenge, it was apparent that this was just as much mental. No one chooses to do these exercises on their own. Candidly, it’s dangerous, difficult, and dare I say, impossible. But there’s a lesson in the face of challenges: will you quit when it gets hard or will you dig deep and push through? Whatever it takes to keep going, do that. If it means taking a rest and going again, do that. You must push past your perceived limitations to find the strength within. You have what it takes. Keep going.
Aye!
