Surrogate BB for 12/1

WARMUP: while the posting numbers are inaccurate, due to the many folks that don’t find the BB system worth their time… Some of us enjoy seeing the numbers climb.

Getting these done increases the accuracy of that,
and any motivation is good motivation IMHO.

THE THANG: kettlebell type stuff
MARY: abdominal type stuff
ANNOUNCEMENTS: newsletter type stuff
COT: prayer type stuff

Farmers bring in the Thanksgiving holiday

WARMUP: motivators from 5
THE THANG: 2 minute farmer carry followed by 1 minute workouts. We mixed in multiple rounds of running to the pull up bars and laps around the track to honor Splinter who is DR.
MARY: mixed in throughout the workout as multiple PAX prescribed more pain into the mix.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: read the newsletter. Lots of upcoming events.
COT: Thanksgiving takes a lot of work. Be thankful for those that are in your life and that you don’t even know who have helped get food on your Thanksgiving table. It’s easy to complain about circumstances in your life, but practicing gratitude helps keep complaining away.
