Deuces, sandwiches and firearms… and the village people

Leave a comment

WARMUP: wasn’t sure if we were joining the inning club or if the 2nd core principle was about to be challenged, but then figured out the run club had a new meet up spot.

Started with SSH, cherry pickers, merkins, up and down dogs.
THE THANG: The plan was a 15 min mile pace where the last 1/4 mile would be a shuffle. As we completed the miles (we got in 3), we took the rucks off for some PT.
– 10 shoulder press
– 10 swings
– 10 up rows
– 10 curls
– 10 squats
– 10 side bends each side

We rucked down to the circle at Hubert Graham, ran the hill for the last quarter mile. Then rucked halfway down Stonecrest blvd and back to circle for mile 2. Then rucked back to the front of the school for mile 3.
MARY: overhead carry back to COT
ANNOUNCEMENTS: lots in the newsletter
COT: of course! CSPAN style and lots of kids activities and new starts to be thankful for (this was the theme)
