CONDITIONS:Warmer than expected. Lots of Red. We were in our Red era. Then the power of TSwift took over and we let her take us where she wished as we fired up the Red album.

WARMUP: 22 SSH, some GM and WMH, followed by some baby arm circles and squats.

THE THANG: Long mosey down Granny White, so much so that MM thought we were headed back to Lipscomb. Wrong. Headed to the Hill!

11’s with 2 exercises = 22 (fuzzy T Swift math) Burpees at the bottom, drop squats up top.

Mosey over to the pavilion where we worked out next two either a dead body or a man sleeping. We will never know, we had DID business to attend to. 25 dips, 20 inclines, 15 declines for 3 rounds.

MARY: No time!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Brewsday, Gobbler, check the Slack

COT: Grateful for Fockers vulnerability and sharing over some recent victories and growth. He’s a true HIM.
