Trip to the golf course

Leave a comment

Cars in the parking lot when I arrived. Some of the Pax had launched early to record some miles. Bootcampers began with some dynamic stretching before we strolled down the path to the golf club. Several stops with exercises before we arrived at the hilly path to the club. We each picked a boulder and did a series of exercises (curls, presses, and upright rows) while one in the group ran up to the bend in the path and back down the hill.
We moseyed to the top of the path and back down to a hilly path near the 18th green. We started running backwards when Falcon Crest accidentally ran over Backdraft. After a couple screams, he was able to shake it off. We ran around the parking lot and eventually made it back to COT.
