PAX: Pep, Esposa, SalPal, Grape, Topanga (Scott), Focker, Cowboy, Young and Restless, Hipster, Wham-O, Betty Ford
FNGs: None
COUNT: 13
CONDITIONS: Low 40s and perfect

WARMUP: NO SSH FOR YOU Pep!!!
Why warm up when you can run to the track :man-shrugging:

THE THANG: The 3 Heads of Hydra

Squatter kicked off the first 15 minutes with a simple and effective concept

Start at 0m
10 merkins, 10 burpee broad jumps, 10 air squats, 10 lunges, 10 flutter kicks, bear crawl to the 100m line, run the rest of the track (picking up the 6), and rinse and repeat.

YHC took over at 5:45

Starting at the end of the field with performed 30 SSH – (My psyop to get the full PAX into cadence was a complete failure)
10 8-count body builders, 20 Big Boy Sit Ups and we ran to the other side of the field to rinse and repeat.

Now that we are over Ocotburpee, 8 count body builders are all the rage.

Lastly Chunks closed us out.
Sprints up the hill, sets of Perfect Merkins, Burpees :pinched_fingers: the perfect way to close out a beat down before ending with some light stretching.

MOLESKINE: IMHO – Co Qs should be about keeping the momentum high and not planning to much as team. Mission accomplished

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Percy Warner Accent this Saturday, f3 Afterhours/Afterdark/NightF3 next Thursday, Turkey Trot in Crieve Hall, Grow School in December

COT: Prayers for the Clay Family, Lifting up Hipster, and for all of us to lean into community as we are not built to grow/thrive on our own.

I am thankful for you guys!

MOLESKINE:

There’s a Hebrew word my family meditates on during Passover: “Dayenu” meaning “it is sufficient.” Thanksgiving is also a good time to reflect on this idea & the meaning of contentment. Think about areas in your life where you may be struggling with envy or a simple desire to acquire more. Try to apply this principle of Dayenu & rest in God’s provision for your life.

CubCadet was skeptical and waiting for a surprise Co-Q to pop out of a bush.

Without furth ado, time to attack Love Circle!

Off we go with and Indian Run. Stopped at the bridge for some Boo Boo Bearcrawls. Continued the run to the stop sign for some Merkins. Then we took the Mrs. Toolman route straight up the hill.

Reached the summit for a moment of reflection. Asked the PAX to think about all the opportunities they’ve been blessed with in this city and how they can pass those along to others in the city we all love.

What goes us must come down. Also we completed the circle at love circle. Stopped at the stop sign again for some merkins. Continued our run stopped at the bridge for a nice lunge walk across the bridge. Continued the run to the hill near the portajohns. Squats and Merkins at the top and bottom. 3 Rounds.
