Tentative efforts lead to tentative outcomes. Therefore, give yourself fully to your endeavors. Decide to construct your character through excellent actions, and determine to pay the price for a worthy goal. The trials you encounter will introduce you to your strengths. Remain steadfast… and one day you will build something that endures, something worthy of your potential. -Epictetus

4 rounds for time:
800 m run
50 air squats
50 burpees
cooldown: 3 rounds plank hold 30 sec on 30 sec off
An air squat is the squat movement with no added weight or equipment (body weight). Optimal form would be with both hands interlocked on the back of the head throughout the movement ensuring that you squat all the way down until your thigh is parallel with the ground and then all the way up to where your hips completely square up.
For burpees, here is a link to the first video I found of them http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_Dq_NCzj8M Keep in mind this is the standard burpee; get to the ground as fast as you can and then explode up high ensuring hands are above head and hips square to the plane.
