We had nine at the Colosseum for a Happy Bus Driver Day. We started with a mosey to the back parking lot. Warm-ups (SSHs, Imperial Walkers, Windmills, Plank Stretches). Next, we headed to the light posts, partnered up. Partner 1 run to the second light pole and returned to Partner 2, Partner 2 jogged forward to meet Partner 1. We repeated this pattern until we reached the last light pole then returned to the school doing the same running pattern.
Next, we ventured over to the wall. Modified Dora – 100 Muscle Ups, 200 Hand Release Merkins, and 300 LBCs. Partner exercises, one ran while the other performed the exercises, flip flop.
We had enough time to run back to COT. Welcome Lighthouse.

WARMUP: Bit of a mosey and short COP with mumblechatter from Bonsai on the Qs Disclaimer. No, it wasn’t perfect. It also wasn’t missed entirely (except you Bonsai).
THE THANG: Two sets of accumulator series 5x / 10x / 15x /20x / 25x with bear crawls or crawl bears in between. one series was all lower body, one all core. along the way we did a conga line mosey weaving through all the posts of the carpool awning at the school.
MESSAGE: Workout and message today were geared around life not moving in a straight line. it hasn’t for me in career, fitness, faith, marriage, finances, etc. there have been ups and downs and twists and turns. too often I fall into the trap of blaming myself or someone else for the downticks when in fact that’s just part of the journey. and in fact it’s those downticks when I have the most to learn and grow. so take the attitude about the #Suck from the Gloom and apply it to the #Suck in the rest of your life — Embrace It!
thanks for the invite Triple Lindy and the AKA spirit Funhouse and pax! always an honor to lead.
