COT: prayers and praises.
having been put in charge of both of our running with push-up AOs this week, I decided to make them entry level. it does not mean easy, it just means easy to understand what is required to do. to that end, I decided to recycle some of the easier to follow Qs in which I have participated.
the word, recycle and reuse together often. remind me of a program I saw in fourth grade. you may have bag memories of being hurted into your elementary school gymnasium in order to see what amounts to a public service announcement or little skit or play put on by a bunch of kids , maybe a small performance by the 5th graders who got to start orchestra. but the one I remember most vividly is being brought to that sad little gymnasium to watch a dude dressed up as McDonald’s mascot and Ronald McDonald caper about singing about reducing reusing and recycling. somehow they burned half an hour of our day listening to Ronald McDonald it’s founding on the virtues of mineralism in a 1980s world where everything was designed to be thrown away immediately after use.
WARMUP: the pledge of allegiance
THE THANG: run to Hardee’s. pair up. run opposite directions saying the block. On the east side (post post office) do 5, 10 and then 15 partners BBSU. Then 15 every time. continue running until meeting up at or around the Hardee’s lot. where you at 5, 10, 15 partner pushups. after the pushups, run the way you came back. this way each partner gets to run both directions around the block multiple times. sort of like a weird freaking Newton cradle

MARY: 30-45s of flutters while YHC grabbed my phone
ANNOUNCEMENTS: duties were assigned to Funhouse

Pledge of allegiance. Then down to corner of Main St and Academy. Pretty simple routine today: 10 HR merkins at Main/Academy. Run up Main to Main/160, 10 jump squats. Run to 160/Monroe White, 10 HR merkins. Run to Withers/Watson, 10 jump squats. Run back to start.
Each time you get back to Main/Academy, run the loop in the opposite direction with same exercises.

NMM
Fort Mill is a land of churches (seems one is on every corner). But just as standing in a garage doesn’t make you a car, going to church doesn’t make you a believer. Whatever you believe, show it in the way you carry yourself. Have convictions. Stand for your beliefs. The world is your pulpit, so let your walk be your message.
Aye!
