PAX total: 6
Q: Dax
PAX: DAX, Saban, Highrise, Sherlock, Gitterballs, Smooth,
No one on the Q, and I hadn’t Q’d in awhile, so at 11pm the night before, I knew it was my time to shine.
Warmup:
SSH, AV, Imperial Walkers, Grass Grabbers, worlds greatest stretch, dying cockroach
Native American run to Foundry for:
HALF a MURPH
That’s 50 pull ups, 100 merkins, 150 squats.
We often do a quarter Murph as part of our regular beatdowns, but that was getting stale. With Memorial Day coming and @smooth declaring this year, “the year of the pull-up”, I knew we needed to elevate our game.
It was fantastic. I was encouraged that everyone kept pace, and modifying was minimal. Already on track to do better than last year’s Murph. LFG.
Native American run to Roosevelt Mall for:
Route 66- descending, Bonnie Blairs.
Two is one.
There was complaining, but not Rudy level complaining/snark. I was happy.
Mosey back to flag for:
Ab circle, featuring all the classics: leg lifts, j-lows, hip thrusters, freddy merc’s, etc.
Count off, name-o-rama, intentions and COT:
I’m going to be flying on Friday for a vacation. I joked about leaving today to make the flight. I’m privileged to be able to take my family on vacation and it’s an inconvenience for me to deal with this stuff. For others it’s a much more serious burden. I pray for our leaders to realize that whether they’re people working at TSA or serving in our military, they are people. They have families, worries and dreams. I pray that those in power treat others with the respect and seriousness they deserve.
Closed with Our Father.
