MILGA WRAP at Lazarus

Last WO of the year at Lazarus.

Poppins had EH’d an F&G, so a proper disclosure was given with an introduction to FOOPC. We did a short warm‑up in the parking lot while getting to know F&G, then headed to the circuit.

Mapped a quarter‑mile loop using Google Maps’ measure feature, with four stations and four different exercises at each station, each with a proper rep count, just enough where form matters and not enough if cheating yourself. My rough math made me think that would total two miles, but it’s actually just one mile, another reminder, not a professional.

Kept the group together in lieu of letting spring chickens run for fellowship and FNG welcoming. Goose was hungry for EC, had a taste and back to COT for MARY.

Proper interrogation of FNG led to name Elmer Fudd.

Prayers for better parenting, aging family members, and discernment in season of waiting.
