On this dark and gloomy day, I did a buddy a solid and took the Q while he had a last-minute conflict. I knew it was going to be raining, but I also knew that there were plenty of places to still get in a workout and stay dry at the same time at <#C02QBPU3S5N>.
Now, I admit, I haven’t been here in a while, but I was surprised when I showed up that NO ONE FROM THE WEST SIDE WAS THERE. I mean, it’s right around the corner from where a lot of you live. It’s a great AO with a lot to offer, and yet no one but 2 Eastsiders made it out?? You guys are missing out if you are not coming to <#C02QBPU3S5N>.
My only compadre was <@UN6PTD007> who is my SL ride or die. (Thanks bud!). Now, we did discuss bailing and going to Biscuit Belly, but decided that we needed to get some work done. So, off to the shelter we went.
WARMUP: Windmills, Moroccan Nightclubs, SSH
THE THANG: We put a board at the end of each concourse at the school. Each board had 6 exercises on it. The count for each was 10 reps. After completing that, run to the end of the next concourse and do that board at 10 reps. After we completed a round, the rep count increased by 5. It was a full body workout of abs, arms, legs, and a little running. This is one of those that is sneaky but will catch up with you later.
MARY: N/A as we did so many abs during the workout.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: So many things are going on. Pick something to help out with or support.
COT: Prayers for busy times and finding peace in them. Prayers for travels over the next few weeks.
