Roses are red, Dora’s fun too

After a pre-blast poem and the disclaimer of running, PAX of 8 got stronger this morning at Purple Cobra.  YHC led a Dora style beatdown to keep everyone warm on this cool raining morning.

EC: Emeril, Warbucks

Warm Up:

Warm up lap around the gas station and circled up for:
SSH x30 IC
Good morning x10 IC

The Workout:
Broke into 2 groups of 4 for an Indian run behind Harris Teeter and over to the back of Planet Fitness parking lot. PAX partnered up for a Dora style workout.
Partner 1 did exercises while partner 2 runs to end of parking lot and back until all exercises were completed. YHC couldn’t remember star jumps, so PAX got a short break before the pain began. Dora (shapes edition) consisted of:
100 diamond merkins
200 star jumps
300 Sir Fazio arm circles

Quick feet on the curbs and mosey back to start for Mary.

Mary:
Plank-o-rama for the 6.
When YHC called PAX to their 6, mumble chatter broke out about staying dry until Mary…
