Thankfully the bakery was in full working order and the dumpster smells were not. We worked hard enough for all Pax to have one doughnut.

Choose Hard

WARMUP: Run to bandshell at WEP
THE THANG: We did laps around WEP with an accumulator thrown in for fun. When returning to the bandshell after each lap pax did the following starting with the first exercise and then adding the 2nd to it, then the 3rd, then adding the 1st exercise on top of the original 3 following the 4th lap

Burpees x10
Should taps x20
Squat x30

We got in 5 laps before returning home. All the effort in continuous fashion kept the pax warm and kept the cranky mumblechatter flowing.

MARY: done inside the Thang

ANNOUNCEMENTS: D2D items and more
COT: yes!

No rain, no pain

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Some of the usual windmill, IWs, etc
THE THANG:
The rain was light but steady throughout and it didn’t scare off any of the pax. 36 degrees and wet — I’m grateful anyone showed up but I was especially grateful to see my co-Q Trucker. We used the morning as a faceoff between Trucker repping Penn St and DD repping Notre Dame in advance of the CFP game the following Thur.

Trucker led off with a history lesson of the rivalry that started in 1913. His upper body sequence included the list below with 19 reps on the first round and 13 reps in the second round.

Chest press
Skull crushers
Lat swings
Shoulder press
Front shoulder raises
Upright rows
Bent over rows
Curls
LBC
Mosey to funeral home and back

DD took over halfway through for a lower body sequence that included 4 quarters (4 rounds) of the following:

Cleans R/L
Goblet squat
Racked lunge R/L
Goblet calf raise
Swings
Core exercise
Mosey to front of church and back

It was a great .morning (once it was over) and a great warm up for the Irish victory 4 days later!

MARY: nah
ANNOUNCEMENTS: wine event, D2D, etc

WARMUP: The first 10 mins of the ruck
THE THANG: We continued the ruck for another 35 mins covering the Alabama route rolling back down Main St and then up around the Pharmacy and back home. No official Strava results but certainly close to 3 miles. Pax moved briskly throughout to keep the heart beating and the body warm. Nice job by all pax!

Great to have Bacon out for his first post at DP.

MARY: Nah
