Locked gates brings pole work

We found the football field/track LOCKED for the first time in years, so the weinke was modified. We made it work at this “moderate” AO with getting in around two miles of running, sprints and a little mall walking using the light poles.

All enjoyed dishing out advice to one of our newest pax and today’s war baby Cliffhanger, whose wife is expecting.

For those of us with older kids in various stages, we have many things to ponder as they grow older and wisdom to pour out (when asked for.)

Prayers up today for our kids, aging parents and a few pax going thru some struggles and challenges.

10×10 and Hard Part of Massey

WARMUP:
Quick run up to Hobo’s for some warm-up of a few SSH, IWs, and Mountain Climbers. Most down to the mill stone at the bottom of Main to find the 10×10 board waiting.

THE THANG:
The 10×10 board.
1. Shoulder Taps
2. Squats
3. Mountain Climbers
4. Seal Jacks
5. Hello Dollys
6. Plank Jacks
7. Bomb Jacks
8. Merkins
9. LBCs
10. Burpees

We started with 10 of #1, then ran to the top of Massey, did 1 burpee, then returned to the board. Next round 10 of #1, and 10 of #2, then ran to the top of Massey for 1 burpee (not 2). Continued accumulation until we got through the last item on the board.

That’s all we had time for. Excellent work by all men. Thanks for the opportunity to lead, Cubbie!
