Running Street Jackson

Leave a comment

Tried to make a pun on an Outkast song lyric “I’m sorry Ms. Jackson” by saying “We’re running street Jackson.” But much like running Jackson Street, it wasn’t funny. (Although I laughed)

Ran for a mile
Core work for the 6
5 burpees
10 hand release merkins
16 split squats (8 each leg)

Rinse and Repeat

Keep after it. Awesome to see guys that don’t typically run 3+ miles in the gloom crush it today.

Once a year Q

Leave a comment

WARMUP: 6 Windmills
THE THANG: After Funhouse led us in the Pledge of Allegiance, we ran to the bottom of Main ST where the gaggle performed 1 burpee then ran to the 2nd light pole (16 on the Hobo’s sIde) perform a burpee then run back to start. at this point the “A” group began to separate themselves from us mortals. Epstein didn’t kill himself. Continue performing 1 burpee at ever other light pole and running back to the start until you reach the end of the street. Run back to the start, perform your burpee then choose your own adventure loop. Big loop, over the bridge and around the block. Lil loop, take the alley behind hobos and head back to the start. Rd 2 was 5 merkins, Rd 3 was 5 CDD. Some Pax got more miles than others, looking at you #Badlands and #MacGyver.
MARY: NONE
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Murph options, other things I don’t remember
COT:Prayers for marriages and sick family members. God answers your prayers, keep praying and they will be answered. Sometimes blessings come from ppl and places you didn’t expect.
