Leave a comment

WARMUP: just ran around the school and then took a bonus lap around the long loop….. people were questioning whether this was a running AO. Small circle: Windmills, Slow Low Squats, Merkins, Mountain climbers, Merkins, Mountain Climbers, Morracan Night Clubs, Squats, Seal jacks
THE THANG: Ran to end of parking lot and made make shift basketball court for the purposes of line drills (formally known as Suicides). We ran 50% and then did an exercise. We continued to do this until I ran out of things to do and the clock got close to 6. We finished with a “full” parking lot line drill and a circle for some stretches to cool down. Everyone enjoyed the Burpees and the fact we were as slow as our brothers.
MARY: Too good at time management to need this…
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel Men’s, Dam to Dam, probably something else…
COT: Prayers for children in our schools, marriages

It was a less-hot morning in the Fort, and you could cut the anticipation with a knife. Like Phil Collins said:

Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh, lord, oh, lord
