Pole Dancing at Colosseum

WARMUP: Ran to the noisy lot out back by the football field and circled up for 15 reps each of the following:
* SSH
* Windmills
* Imperial walkers
* Moroccan night clubs
* Strawberry pickers
Now that the blood is flowing, muscle groups are warmed up, and heart rate is up, mosey to the back entrance road where the famed light poles are.

THE THANG:
The Colosseum Pole Dance!!
Starting at the bottom of the hill, the lowest point, near the playground. Partner up for a little ascending/descending DORA. One partner runs while the other exercises, swap upon runner return, then keep at it until everything is done. Runs are uphill to the light poles and back, but as each exercise changes you run to the next furthest light pole away increasing distance each round until midway point of exercises.
1. 50 burpees / run to pole 1 and back
2. 100 merkins / run to pole 2 and back
3. 200 mountain climbers (2ct) / run to pole 3 and back
4. 300 squats / run to pole 4 and back
5. 200 reverse LBC / run to pole 3 and back
6. 100 wide-arm merkins / run to pole 2 and back
7. 50 burpees / run to pole 1 and back
GREAT job by the PAX! Everyone completed everything except #7, which most at least started and got halfway through before we timed out.
Indian run back to COT for a little ab work of flutters, situps, and American hammers. Not much mumblechatter during the main event, but we sure made up for it during the Indian run and ab lab work! Great group of PAX!! Love it!!
Shower Curtain STILL beat us all back to COT!! The guy is a stud!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
* A LOT going on! Read the newsletter and get involved or lead the PAX on something that has your passions.
* Thanksgiving Convergence at the Ranch!
COT:
* A lot to give thanks for
* A lot to lift up prayers for
* The holiday season is one of thanks, praise, happiness, and joy for many, but for some it is anything but. People are fighting their demons, struggling with burdens that we never see or know about because we tend to put up facades and outwardly project what we want others to see. The holiday season is, unfortunately, also a time for suicides. If you know someone who is struggling, be intentional and try to help however you can, even if it is just being there for them and listening. Sometimes all it takes to turn someone’s day around is a small gesture of kindness – a smile, a hello, your time, whatever. Be the light, the rock, the beacon of hope.

Thank you Shower Curtain for the opportunity to lead. It is great seeing you out there even if you cannot participate in the workouts.

Thankful, blessed, and encouraged
