14 total at The Hive. 10 PAX for the KB workout
Maximus and Spiderman did a foot rehab ruck workout
L-Train and Hardwood did a murph (I think just for the sake of running laps around us at the end to get that second mile) Trucker was very tempted by the Murph.
YHC put together a playlist of mostly EDM and some acoustic music that mimics a NYC basement danceclub DJ set list. Not my typical listening, but it kept the tempo active. Music for an environmental purpose more than music for listening. (kinda like those at that trendy corporate office…there’s no way sitting in those is comfortable).
T-Claps to Uhaul for the playlist inspiration and his help manning the speaker. Having the song list assisted my pacing for the workout.

Highlight was when Trucker left to go closer to Spiderman’s speaker and avoid the club music, but still did our exercises. #LovedIt #DontHateThePlayerHateTheGame
NMM:
This year, with my students, has felt like 1 step forward, 2 steps back. They’ve made gains in one area only for me to discover deficiencies in another area (I think due to online classes or atrophy from the COVID shutdown). However, this workout proved that when we go 1 step forward and take 2 back, we can still accomplish a lot. I’ll keep working on 1 step forward from wherever we are until there are no more steps to take.
Thanks Airborne for the opportunity to lead. I’m always amazed at how much further I’m willing to push at a workout when I’m the one leading. There’s a metaphor in there somewhere; I’ll work on fleshing it out.
Also I struggled with numbers while tweeting this morning.
@F3theFort 12 at #theHive. 8 🛎️, 2 🎒, 2 murph. We took one step forward and two steps back until we ran out of steps. While we didn't cover much ground, we got a lot done (782 calories via my heart rate monitor). Thanks @JimEubanks12 for the opportunity to lead. pic.twitter.com/f7ghrdsOlL
