4 men and a couple of 14 yo that keep showing up ventured out into the gloom to see if it would be a beautiful day in the neighborhood. What transpired is as as follows:
COP: Arm circles, cherry pickers, DQs, side-Straddle hops, mt climbers, WWIIs, and Merkins.
The Thang:
Burpee Back Mountain – partnered up for a Dora. 100 burpees. Timer ran up and down amphitheater steps.
Quadruple Check Choo Choo Train – Everyone got a coupon. The original idea had to be modified big time due to low numbers at DP today. P1 was the engine of the wheelbarrow, while P2 held P1’s feet, while P3 lunged behind (with the coupon). Since this was a Quadruple check, we all performed each task 4 times. This experiment taught me that a triple check is better than a quadruple check. Next, we tried a double check. P1 murder bunnied from Penny Stage to the lamp post, P2 walked and followed P1 with the coupon overhead, P3 again lunged behind (with the coupon). Everyone kept their coupon as we moseyed through the woods.
Due to differing fitness levels, various injuries, the Pax began to work as a unit. Some ran with a coupon. Some walked with 2 coupons. Some got to the next point without making their injuries worse (success!).
Triple Check at the Pipe Line. Timer ran the pipeline loop. P2 did AHs and P3 did 4 squats (with the coupon) x 4 curls x 4 overhead presses (repeato).
I had much more suffering to dole out, but the clock struck 6:54am, so we moseyed back up to the Penny Stage, again coming together as one mighty force that had mere minutes to get some coupons back to their appropriate place.
Native American run BTTF for COT. Numbers. Names.
Announcements: Loops at Forest Hill Park on Black Friday. Apparently, the reigning champ is Sippy Cup with 7 loops. Who’s gonna best him? Anthrax?
Prayer requests: Chippendale asked that we pray for his son, a UVA student, as the student body is still dazed from their recent tragic event. YHC took us out.
Final Thoughts: May we each continue to grow stronger, in all ways, so as to benefit ourselves, our families and our communities. May we not fall into paralysis when faced with the numerous tragedies that continue to befall our nation and the world. May we each do our part to improve the small portion of the world that we inhabit.
