Saturday 1/25
AO: OCT

Temp: 19˚

Q: Neverland

PAX: Private Ryan, LMU, Spud, Total Package, El Ab, Mountie, Gooney, Lex.

Java & Popeye were seen getting some miles

 

It was supposed to be a bit warmer this morning, it wasn’t.

9 men defeated the fart sack and the temps for a solid beatdown.

Here’s what went down:

Warm up:
Mosey to Truist lot.

SSH x 20ish

IST x 15

Loose change x 10

Arm circles

 

Thang:

5 stops around town. Add a new exercise at each stop.

 

Truist, 10 Merkins (LMU’s choice)

Fire Station Lot +20 Reverse crunches

5/3 Lot +30 LBCs

Lower Mugga +40 Mtn Climbers

Southern Strain +50 Squats

 

Reverso, subtracting at each stop. Audible 10 burpees at Truist.

 

Mary:

SSH x 20 to stay warm

Some stretching

 

Prayers offered for Ken, a friend of TP who is nearing the end. Healing prayers for Andrea @ Higher Ground, who is on the mend. Everyone grabbed coffee at Higher Ground then gathered at the luxurious Edward Jones offices of Lex Finnell for warmth.

 

The cold sucks, but it also makes us feel alive. I applaud this group, morning after morning, getting out there, regardless of conditions, defeating whatever temps mother nature serves up. 20 degrees? Whatever. 15? Been there. Those who stay in there cocoons all day, will never fully understand winter, and to declare victory over it. Proud to be a part of this group.

 

And just to be clear, I’m talking about running in the cold, not sitting in it. That’s foolishness.
