Tea Time Murph 5/9/2022

Music Theme: Country that rocks, featuring Jason Aldean; general thumbs up by all PAX
Warm Up: SSH 25x; deep squat to stretch calves, hammies; touch toes, exhale
The Workout: Murph 1 mile run, 300 squats, 200 merkins, 100 pull-ups, 1 mile run

Taking off on the second run, Cancun asks Moose, “Did you know that whales eat moose?” It’s true, seriously. First of all, Cancun said it. Second of all, it was on the Internet: “Orcas occasionally eat moose. While both animals live in different habitats, there is a predator-prey relationship. There’s no evidence that killer whales eat moose regularly, but they do sometimes.”
