PAX: @Finkle, @Gamecock, @H1N1, @Particle Board, @K I T T Y L I T T R, @flair

Warm-up: We got the party started with some Hillbillies and Imperial Walkers in cadence, followed by some good morning’s, and downward dog in to chaturanga updogs.

Main Event: We played a favorite game of X-Marks the spot. We started off with 20 SSH in cadence at the ends of the X and once we came to our intersection of Ennis St and Raleigh St we stopped and did 10 merkins. Once all four parts were complete we changed up the exercises to squats on the ends and sumo squats at the intersection. Got in about 2.5 miles standard.

Mary: Not today, ran out of time.

COT: @K I T T Y L I T T R: shared updates on adoption process, @H1N1: shared parenting woes for his son @Messi needing wisdom for upcoming decisions, @Finkle: prayers for oldest 2.0 who is in Guatemala working with kids and single moms.

Warm Up: Lap around the tennis courts; circled up for SSH, IW, HB, Fazio arm circles, good mornings; I had to throw in some burpees to calm the mumble chatter

The Workout: PAX moseyed to the tennis court and lined up on one end. PAX were instructed to travel the width of the 4 tennis courts by broad jump, 5 star jumps, broad jump, 5 prisoner squats, wash-rinse-repeat until you reach the other side and squat-hold for the 6. PAX then traveled back to the start across the 4 courts with the Obama (named after the 44th president) 4 steps in bear crawl followed by 4 merkins, wash-rinse-repeat until you reach the other side and plank-hold for the 6. PAX loved these so much, we decided to do it again but had to limit each to the halfway mark to save on time. Once complete, PAX traveled to the concession stand via Indian run for more fun. Half the pax held BTTW, while the other pax did an exercise, then switch. (exercises were 1:step ups x10 each leg, 2:bulgarian squats x5 each leg, 3:Erkins-Derkins-Dips x5 each). Half the pax then held People’s chair while the other half did exercises, then switch. (exercises were 1:American Hammer, 2:Mountain Climbers). PAX then indian ran back to the courts for Mary.
