Thanks for coming to the Party!

EC: 187

FNGs: The party was open to all men but only FHIGs showed (Friendly High Impact Guys)

Invites were sent but based on RSVPs it was hard to tell who to expect at the party.

YHC got to the party a little early to double-check the venue before the guests arrived.  A quick spin around the back lot to confirm that all of the standard party fare was in place.  The bounce house was not there and that was OK.  HSHM is just 2 days away and the jumping wouldn’t sit right for some of the runner-types…  You know who I’m talking about…  “Did you get a race shirt yet?”  “Are you running a half-marathon this weekend too?”  “Do you even run bro?”  “Yeah… I ran a full last weekend, I’m gonna Q all week, do a Fritter, not show up to your birthday Q, and run the HSHM this weekend”  (I <3 you team FML, I’m just playing to the crowd – except you Lipstick, that last one was real)

Oh… HEY…  Sorry… Yeah let me get back to talking about this manly workout thing we did today.

12 men gathered in the lot, the clock moved over to 5:30 – Welcome to the Party!

Warm Up:  Like any good party you start out with something light.  Allow people to mingle and have a little small talk.  We circled up in that front lot and tackled these party snacks.

• 12x Windmills
• 12x Daisy Pickers
• 12x Frankensteins = 36
• Fozio Arm Circles (36)
  • 18 Forward
  • 18 Back

Now that the pleasantries were out of the way, we moved the party to the back of the house.  Tiger Blood has some room to move around so we needed a little mozy to get there.  Nothing too strong
