The road least traveled

WARMUP: the nice warm air gave us all the warm up we needed
THE THANG: the recommended route was L on munn, R on Harris, R on Sam smith, R into Sutton place neighborhood, take the first left 3 times to arrive at Sutton, R on Sutton, turn around once you hit 6th Baxter and do the whole thing in reverse. 4.35 miles. Not many did this route, but those who did were treated to some solid hill work <#C09QRA67ST0>

My taste was acquired

The chill came back and 8 showed up for a run around the Sunbelt parking lot.

From the amphitheater at Kingsley we moseyed up to Sunbelt. At one end of the lot, we completed various upper and lower exercises that were written on my weinke. Running across the lot to the far end, we spent more time doing various upper and lower body exercises that were written on my weinke.

I gave Spike my weinke so I am going to fail to list the details of exactly what we performed.

There was a decent amount of mumblechatter that kept things just interesting enough that Super-G was able to hang. He did not stay for my motivational speech at the end and missed out on a good one. Ask me sometime about my two words for the last few years.

Old Bay was missed as his solar panels failed him this morning.

A Celebration Trip to the Islands

WARMUP: Tried and true — SSH, Windmill, Mtn climber, down dog, up dog, etc. mosey to Lowes
THE THANG: Pax mustered near island at far entrance of Lowes. Completed a routine of doing some form of upper body exercise x15 at front Island, moved in j varying forms to next island away from store for some core exercise x15z then returned to original island and planked. Then we moved to the next set of islands.

During each plank session one pax shared a personal note of celebration for the day, ranging from a VQ to a wife’s return home from 2 weeks of travel to a 2.0’s successful landing of a new job.

After doing all sets of islands, we moseyed to the end of the retail strip and pax formed two teams for a relay race of bear crawls and crawl bears.

Mosey home.
MARY: included throughout
ANNOUNCEMENTS: yes
COT: yes as always

I love the spirit and energy at Slow Burn and the pax didn’t disappoint. Lots of mumblechatter and laughs for 45 mins. Not only is this season dark, cold and heavy but the general tone in the world seems the same. Grateful to see the pax take timeout to celebrate and identify an area of light in their life.

We’re called to be the light amid the darkness. Go light the way men!

Thanks Peach Stand and congrats on 3 yrs in the Gloom!

Cold buckets

WARMUP: We did a few things
THE THANG: One bucket at the bottom of the hill, one at the top.

The PAX enjoyed selecting pre printed slips of various exercises to execute and perform to perfection. The slips did not include anything too miserable for a 18 degree morning so we believe all survived. A nice coffee was provided postgame by <@U06RH8NQ44A>
MARY: SSH’s while Pusher retrieved the distant uphill bucket.

<@U035XDY7ABC> provided encouraging anecdotes from his recent trip to train awesome friends in Cuba :pray: <@U04GQT8NQ4C>
ANNOUNCEMENTS: A few
COT: Praise for those in Cuba, for grandchildren, and for the Lord giving us the privilege of being alive in His creation in the pre dawn 18 degree air.
