WARMUP: N/A
THE THANG: The suggested route was run to Kingsley, create a loop, and run back. There were several modifications around the sunbelt parking lot, some ventured on highway 21, and a few ventured on 160 which may have been a bad suggestion by the Q. 3.5-4.5 miles.
MARY: N/A
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethels, upcoming CSAUPs, etc.
COT: Prayer and praises

WARMUP: Not at this AO. But YHC did jump a lot from 5:10-5:14 (Q-drenaline)

THE THANG: Run to WillowBrook and back via Orchard Park Elementary. Proof: https://www.strava.com/activities/17574144266

MARY: Might have passed her on the route, not sure.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Sign up for Bethel Men’s Shelter THIS THURSDAY! The need is great, the workers are few.

NMM: I articulated the route as starting out towards the QT, but then immediately ran the wrong direction. Nobody said anything. 😥 (Retread and I corrected the route, but come on men!)

When the leader doesn’t do what they said they’d do, other leaders should speak up. Our community needs your voice. Hold each other accountable.

At the end is Sutton view, turn left, take first right, follow to the end, turn left up towards the main mason’s bend rd. Turn left there and head for home. Pax were encouraged to add loops in Kingsley if they wanted more mileage. Very hilly route, this (over 500 ft of climb)

Nice and gloomy, misty, cool morning. Just being out in this means you made the choice to NOT let the Jester win.
WARMUP: Slow mosey to the contractors pickup area at Lowe’s, circle up for the following, my standard SWIMS warmup:
– 15 SSH 4ct
– 10 Windmills
– 15 Imperial Walker 4ct
– 10 Moroccan night clubs 4 ct
– 15 Strawberry pickers
Since we were where we needed to be, we went right into….
THE THANG:
Dealer’s Choice
I have had the F3 workout deck in my truck for quite some time, like over a year, and never found the right opportunity to use it. Well, today was the day. The cards are waterproof so I was not worried about them getting wet, just whether I could read the small-ish print or not. HA!

Pick a card, do the exercise, then on to the next. Clubs are core, hearts are cardio, spades are legs, diamonds are upper body. Rep count is based on number/suit on the card 2-10 are their number, jacks are 11, queens are 12, kings are 13, aces are something special. jokers/jester are wild card (I had them as 10 burpees).
We got through the following (larger numbers were OYO, everything else in cadence)
2 bulgarian split squats
2 hand clap merkins
11 plank jacks
100 calf raise (ace of spades)
3 wojo squat
7 LBC
sprint 200 m (modified to 50m out and back, 2 of hearts)
11 dips
10 rosalita
NUR 50m out and back
sprint 300m (modified to 50m out and back, 3 of hearts)
lunge walk 50m out and back
10 oblique crunch per side
90 sec high plank
4 CDD
100 SSH (ace of hearts)
13 merkin
sprint 400m (modified to loop around parking lot)
5 lunge 2 ct
12 monkey humpers’
100 arm circles (50 each direction, ace of diamonds)
7 monkey humpers
3 Chuck Norris merkins
6 wide arm merkins
4 alternating side squat/lunge, each side
10 incline merkins
12 diamond merkins
9 ranger merkins10 butt kickers each leg
12 freddy mercury, 2ct
5 hand release merkins
9 LSS
60 seconds low plank (on forearms)
That put us at 3 minutes to 6, just enough time to run back to COT. Unfortunately no jokers/jesters were pulled.
Mumblechatter was most excellent!! Great job by all
MARY: None

ANNOUNCEMENTS: A LOT going on. Highlighted literally everything that is in the newsletter.

COT: A lot lifted up. Reminded PAX that we are all carrying burdens, and we men tend to suffer in silence, but when it gets too much, do not be afraid to reach out, for someone will definitely step in to help lighten the load.

Thanks Peach Stand for the opportunity to lead.

Blessings,
