WARMUP: yea. but with accumulating burpees interspersed
THE THANG: Mosey a tad: to some good island based parking lots

6-7 with curb alberts and mike tysons
mode of transit: bear crawl/crawl bear

6-7 with squats and boxer toe touches
mode of transit: lunge walk/reverse lunge walk

(There were kids here. I had to 6-7 them)

Head to the football field.
Some running 100 yards at a time

1 burpee in the endzone
10 merkins at the 10 yard line
2 burpees-20 merkins at the 20, etc.
3-30
4-40
5-then YHC realized this was stupid as we’d already done 100 merkins and a bunch of mike tysons. So, we went to the hill YCH originally wanted to go to anyway

https://f3nation.com/exicon?entryId=exicon-1757988690608-7220
found this in the Codex
It was Shady-level “fun”
Bowser Jr. rolled down the hill. All of us did not, but I wanted to.

MARY: a little yoga instead.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: lots of them in the newsletter and beyond
COT: was held.

Panhandle confided that this was not a moderate workout. Sorry, Not Sorry. You guys freaking crushed it anyway. 45 min on a Saturday makes it moderate–right? You’re welcome

Many of you know I don’t post often on Saturday because it’s concentrica time in my household. My M was working out of town, and the 2.0s slept in. It was great to be among the PAX this Saturday. The work we GET to do in the gloom is a privilege. Remember that when some jackwagon calls 7-2-20s.

My verse for the day to meditate on is…

“Let us not get tired of doing good, for we will reap at the proper time if we don’t give up.”

‭‭Galatians‬ ‭6‬:‭9‬ ‭CSB‬‬

With that, The Thrill is gone!
