The Workout:
Since I was on Q, the crazy rain, some previous day shenanigans, and the upcoming Murph the numbers at Paradise were a little lower than I’d hoped (I had a sweet playlist and everything). The gameplan was to split into teams and have a little race of sorts. Since we were 3… this is what we did instead.
10 Cards, A-10 were shuffled and placed on the wet pavement. In an accountability group of 3 we used the 10 cards to randomize the following list of workouts and share the work.
Mary:Â We ran a lap around Paradise to make sure we hit the 3 mile minimum
Announcements: Murph and more to be reviewed at the Murph or on Slack. Run the Quay Tent on June 1 and SW Family BBQ June 9th at 2p
T-Claps (Recognition): Pikachu for commuting to Paradise in the rain from Womble for EC. Pikachu and Turkey for picking up the 6, who remained in the fartsack when they stopped by “on their way” to Womble for the Murph.
