Warm up:

Mosey to old parking deck, climbed to the top

SSH x 20

Mercans x 20

Arm circles

The Thang:

Mosey down Church St to Historic Edgewood Ave

At the top of the hill we paired up and did:

Squats x 200
LBC x 200
Scissor kicks x 200
Plank

One person from each pair ran down the hill to the stop sign then turned around and came back up while the partner did the exercises then switched once the other partner returned.

Once everyone was planking we moseyed back to Mary

Mary:

20 Deerticks
10 wide arm Mercans
10 Diamond Mercans
Broga with Cobra (Ride the Snake) and Child Pose

Prayers offered for Cupid’s mother who fell, broke a rib, and punctured a lung. She has suffered and we humbly offer our prayers on her behalf. We also prayed for Spud’s former coworker Nancy who joined the Navy and completed Basic at Great Lakes, but is now separated from her husband. The military life isn’t easy. Their sacrifices for our country go further than we sometimes realize.

Thank you for the opportunity to lead, thank you for your efforts, thank you for making F3 a meaningful part of my life. Today’s theme, as per Spud, was “get outside your comfort zone” and I think we accomplished that. There was much huffing and puffing up the hill and gnashing of teeth at the top. A sniper got Neverland but he persisted with BCR’s assistance. He has a tough exterior, but some say BCR actually has a heart of gold. Coffee time at Groundwork’s was full of mirth and cheer. We discussed prepping for the cleaning lady, Russians meddling via FaceApp, and how you get ants. I look forward to leading again soon.

Popeye
