FNG: FRAM (only to a Running AO)

W-up: GM, hamstring stretch, sumo squat (mission and CP),  plank achilles stretch,

Lots of initial mumble chatter on who doesn’t post a route that’s gonna queue a running AO? YHC Confirmed he had a route, but wasn’t gonna share to keep everybody on their toes. 5 burpee penalty enforced for Lipstick being late. Technically, we probably should’ve done 10 because slash was with him. But he couldn’t help that his dad was pooping.

The Thang:

Set timer for 22 minutes. We ran in until the timer, ran out each Pax picked one exercise of 10 reps to include:  LBC, lunges, Merkins, squats, can’t remember 2 of them, and Burpees.
then we ran the route in reverse on the way home. 5+ mi for all.
