Been a while since Q’ing and not in my best shape but felt like we all needed a kick in the teeth and had some bad ideas…

WARMUP: Sasquatch and YHC ran about 2.5 mile pre-run down Dave Gibson, past school, and up around Walmart.

THE THANG:
Head towards Gardenia hill in Baxter ~1.5miles…

Monkey humpers on 160 until a couple cars passed… maybe 20 IC

Every quarter mile stop for IC exercises that stacked….
merkins then add LBCs then add LSS then add SSH

At bottom of Gardenia come up with a lot of bad ideas….

all you got to the top then struggle through some IC SSH for the 6

Mosey to bottom

Nur back up to first light pole then IC SSH for 6

Bear crawl to next light pole then IC MNC for 6

All you got to the top then IC SSH for the 6

Return to COT with stops every quarter mile for stacked IC exercise

SSH then add LSS then add LBCs then add Merkins

MARY: IC IWs, IC Freddie’s, IC AHs

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Schweaty Barry 7PM July 22

Bad things happen all the time – keep a positive attitude always and those around you will be better off
