WARMUP: SSH, IW, Hillbillies, MC, merkin
THE THANG:

Nosey to stairway down from Epic where we did Apollo Ono, Side lunge, mogul jumps while trading off sprints up and down the stairs.

Next OB and MM traded off picking a spot to run to where the other pax then called an exercise. YHC called varying count of burpees at every stop before running to the next spot.

MARY: done inside Thang
COT: lots of praises, prayers for kids starting college and returning to work after baby birth, prayers for being a better husband

Jekyll was missed. He’ll certainly bring some form of misery back to DP soon.

Thanks to OB and MM for the fellowship and push throughout a cold morning!
