We ran.
Most ran past Hardee’s, some ran to Hardee’s.
Some ran all the way to Summersby & Unity.
One pre-ran the run.
17 out, 17 back.
Note to Olaf … the trees need trimming between launch and The Peach Stand.

Looks like we made it,

Swampy Soup conditions were no match for 17 men to do the harder thing by launching from startex and heading into the #gloom. And when I say #gloom, I mean original AO, full grass, dirty, immersion. *just want to add that it makes me so happy to see Bojangles out with us again. pretty close to an OG and a strong leader. 2.0 Jackalope falling right in and establishing his own path too. Very cool. Cousin Eddie Accelerating, Bobber has the gift of gab, and Grout is a silent killer.
WARMUP: Full COP with SSH, IW, Merkins, Windmills, overhead claps.
THE THANG:
1. head to hill for Jacobs ladder (7) with Donkey Kicks and Bombjacks
2. Playground- Partner up for lap around playground while partner does pull ups till return. Flapjack. Rinse/Repeat
3. Partner Derkins/Dip. P1 hold plank, P2 does exercise on back of P1. 10 reps. flapjack; Rinse/Repeat
4. Pike Place Muscle ups and wall sits. Extra credit for IJ, Bandcamp and Funhouse for heading after the #monster
MARY: LBC, Rosalita, Hello Dolly, American Hammers, V- Up
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Stuff the bus, 10 year coming up
COT: Praise for Kermit’s new job. Bonsai’s leadership, and a few prayers for YHC Rhinoplasty

Just go.

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSH 20, low slow squats 10, 5 burpees…go time
THE THANG: Being DR all last week and no working out, aside from eating and drinking, made this a bit more sucky than it needed to be but the only way to jump in is with both feet. So running with push-ups got the call.

Here’s what we got: every .25 miles = 25 merkins. After mile 1 and mile 1.75 (which is top of the hill in the back of the school), we waited for the six doing flutters.

Simple but effective. Total mileage was between 3-3.5. Some of us (🙋‍♂️) owe a few more merkins as form started to suffer or time to get back was creeping up.
MARY: More flutters and American hammers.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Final countdown CSAUP, QSource on Tuesday Baxter SBUX, be there!
COT: Change Order and his family, kids going off to camps, travel
