today was my birthday, I’m now 58. so I felt like a 29 and 2 workout was appropriate. run to “the warm up circle” and do 29 merkins. split into 2 groups and run the big loop. when you meet, do 2 burpees. run back. repeat with LBCs, Side Straddle Hops, and squats. transition to “the grand promenade and bear crawl to next bench, then lunge walk to next bench, etc. prisoner run back. then alternate lunge walks with bear crawling between benches. prisoner run back and drop for some quick stretches. sprint across the green and up the hill. prisoner run to basketball court. start on one end, 3 broad jumps and a burpees to cross the court. then 5 bear crawls and a hand release merkins to go back. circle up for Mary and done. Happy birthday to me!

An odd number of pax did an odd workout today. Q came in off the top rope right on time – was hiding out trying to stress out the site q who HC’d to the workout and then didnt show. Knowing @kitty litter, he probably went to another workout somewhere else. Great group, great site, wondering why I had never been invited before and where my first time Q gift was….
Warm up – yup
1 – Burpee
3 – Triple
5 – Nickel (Merkins, Lunges, Squats)
7s – yup (star jump and LBCs)
9 – box cutter tribute to Hermes
11s – yup (jump squat and supermans)
Mary – yup (Freddie Merc, Hello Dolly, H2M)
COT- praises for Quiver -first bootcamp post injury.

8 braved week 2 of the Iron Pax Challenge under Kitty Litter’s leadership. Workout honored the STL pax who lost his life at a beatdown last year. Times ranged from legit 45ish (apologies if French Lick and Nabs were materially faster) to questionable 55 minutes. This week was significantly more challenging than wk 1. Playlist on point. Prayers for aging parents and those doing R2R this weekend.

It was a lite mist kinda day. The stay in place workout group was gearing up under the shelter, and with the bar already set, we refused to come under it.
We went for a run
We found some closed roads due to down power lines
We found some streams across the road
We found some high lake water
We found some hills
We found that we would like to have more endurance.

After the run and a change into a dry shirt, we rewarded ourselves with coffee at the Waffle House.

Prayers for @greenbow as he is having shoulder surgery tomorrow.

I had to wander into cougar town to Q a workout since everyone around here already knows my standard workout…

Cool weather greeted us at MDCH this morning! The Waffle House Line was met but we were a conflicted PAX. Ultimately, we decided the Waffle House will always be there, but a gorgeous morning like today was not. After a quick warmup at the brickyard, we divided into those who walk and those who run. The walkers walked the big loop, the runners ran the big loop, and every time they crossed paths, everyone did incrementing exercises. We closed with stretching and Mary.

Announcements included AMBRR, BRR, and 9/11 stair climb.
MIAGD!

Beautiful morning at Stonecutters! After a brief shuffling around, we had a disclaimer , a (mini) flag, a mini stroll around the parking lot, and a mini warm up. Then everyone picked up a rock for each hand and we gathered under a streetlight. An exercise was volunteered as we walked around the perimeter of the parking lot with rocks over our head, we stopped at every light for incremental of the called exercise. there are 9 streetlights. We carried rocks overhead, out in front, side to side, and regular. We did curls, overhead press, tricep extensions, squats, and nut crackers (naturally). We ended with several rounds of Mary with each Pax calling a stretch or an exercise.
