T Y H E R A D

5 were at The Yard for a tour of the back entrance light posts as we had pain in chalk at each pole. Each pole at a letter of THE YARD, but not in order, so that led to some light yogging to find the next letter in the correct order. Everyone enjoyed immensely.

Prayers for Bonsai’s wife and Old Bay’s wife, Twister’s mom, thankful for safe travels for Tater and his M, and for DT’s upcoming trip.

Signups available for yard work at the Care Center.

Thanks to JCruise for the opportunity!

The Most Difficult Mile – maybe

12 men showed up at The Ranch. I made sure I emphasized “modify if necessary” when stating the disclaimer. We began with a mosey warm-up with stops at each light pole for exercises. We made our way to the front of Springfield Elementary for the workout instructions. Simple workout, 4 laps around the car loop.
1st lap – burpees broad jumps
2nd lap- lunges
3rd lap- bear crawl
4th lap- run

most finished the first two laps. We modified the bear crawl due to time.
Great job by all!
