Preparing for 5k/10k

WARMUP: Mosey our way towards the sunbelt parking lot and on the way – SSH, cherry pickers, stretching, Moroccan nightclub, etc.

THE THANG: Using the islands in the parking lot as transition points, we completed the following – high knees, butt kick, toy soldiers, lunge walks, karaoke x 2. We then used the islands for exercise spots (10 reps, 20 for core exercises) – imperial Walker, hillbilly Walker, low slow squats, Merlin’s, mountain climbers, LBC, fluttas. Once exercises were complete, we used the islands for different levels of runs/sprints. Between islands, we completed the following sequence – 50% effort, walk, 75% effort, walk, 90% effort, walk, 50% effort, 75%, 90/95%, walk…. Before running back towards flag… Dora – 50 Merkins, 75 squats, 100 flutters then Mosey back towards flag and knock out a set of 10 inclined merkins, 20 step ups, and 10 more inclined merkins.

Cold buckets

WARMUP: We did a few things
THE THANG: One bucket at the bottom of the hill, one at the top.

The PAX enjoyed selecting pre printed slips of various exercises to execute and perform to perfection. The slips did not include anything too miserable for a 18 degree morning so we believe all survived. A nice coffee was provided postgame by <@U06RH8NQ44A>
MARY: SSH’s while Pusher retrieved the distant uphill bucket.

<@U035XDY7ABC> provided encouraging anecdotes from his recent trip to train awesome friends in Cuba :pray: <@U04GQT8NQ4C>
ANNOUNCEMENTS: A few
COT: Praise for those in Cuba, for grandchildren, and for the Lord giving us the privilege of being alive in His creation in the pre dawn 18 degree air.
