Ghost of Sisyphus

According to the women and dogs walking up and down the namesake hill, this is what the 9 that posted may have done on a Trick or Treat version of TwinTeam. After a scramble to get the coffee maker working and a lap around the parking lot, the Q gave the PAX the semblance of a choice of a Trick or Treat workout during the conversational warm up.

Once Last Call got his domestic duties straight, we headed to Twin Team. We dropped the first glow stick letting the PAX know that the Sisyphus workout was at hand and made our way up the hill, dropping 4 more glow sticks along the way. Mr. Holland tells the tale of Sisyphus much better than anyone so I stuck to the basics: he made some Gods angry and he spent his eternal days pushing a rock up a hill only to have it roll back and start over.

Start pushing that rock – run to the first glow stick, bear crawl back. Run to the second, 30 WWII facing uphill, run to the top. Run to the 3rd glow stick, 30 HRM facing downhill, back to the top. Run to the 4th, partner up – P1 runs to the 3rd glow stick while P2 does flutter kicks for 2 rounds. Back to the top. 5th glow stick, 10 burpees then back to the top, stopping for 20 FK, 20 merkins, 20 WWII, 20 bear crawl steps along the way. Back to the VSF.

Great work men, almost 3 miles covered, most of it going up or down the hill. Apologies to those seeking the Lounge this morning. My name may mysteriously get erased from the Q sheet when an attempting to sign up for TwinTeam again. When I first signed up I had the Murph in mind for the end of the month but changed it to bring Sisyphus back to haunt the PAX. Either way it was going to be a tough one, thanks for letting me lead, sticking it out, and putting up with the whims of the Q at a Haunted Lounge version of Twin Team.

If you can have a day of Creating something, Appreciating something someone else does, Moving your body, and Communing with others, that’s a solid day. With F3 we get at least 2 if not more before most people are awake. Let’s give it away to others so they can get the positive energy that we get to start the day.
