What’s in the Box?

WARMUP: Windmills, MNC, world’s greatest stretch and merkins
THE THANG: Carry our big bells to the far side of the parking lot, found a box full of terrible exercises and carries such as snatches, curls, man makers and lots more. We (I) decided on a 15 count and a nice loop to mosey around after each exercise. Eventually construction workers started showing up and for our sobriety we moved to another location and finished what we started.
MARY: I started, then Bam Bam practiced calling cadence and finally Skipper wouldn’t stop until 0600
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Lots of opportunities to traverse great distances with your two feet for good purposes.
COT: You betcha.
