On this day, we await remnants of Michael. Schools are closed, but for most of us it will be business as usual.

EC streak alive with Nemo, Deadbolt, 187, Pablo and Warbucks doing the standard loop

Warm Up: Jog around the soccer fields and circle up in starting lot for the usual including Good Mornings, SSH, Mt. Climbers, Fazio Arm Circles, and another set of SSH.  Shifted to some leg stretch to close it out.
The Workout: On the jog to back corner of soccer fields we stopped at top of greenway hill.  Partnered up for a brutal set.  Partner 1 was on the run to bottom of hill and back while Partner 2 was AMRAP select exercise.  We did this 5 freaking times.  Exercise order was merkins, burpees, squats, SSH and air press – this was all about pushing yourself to a limit. After each Partner completed each of the 5 exercises and 5 laps on the hill, we recovered on the jog back to the parking lot where we found the wall and alternated BTTW and dips on the bench.  5 rounds, again, working up from a 10 count to a 14 count.
Mary: Strong Plank-o-Rama, real strong
