WARMUP: Arm Circles. Imperial Walkers, SSH, Right over left, Left over right, Willie Mays Hayes

THE THANG:

Don’t know what Pre-Workout Gym Bro Vector took, but he was ready to take on Love Circle.

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.

95% of men over the age of 35 will never sprint again. Not today Satan. Sprint back to startex.

Finished with some ab work and broga.

MOLESKINE:

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Check Slack

COT: Prayers for jobs and families

Found out after the work out that was Papa Bear’s first time summiting Love Circle. :heart::large_green_circle:

AO: atlantis
Q: Vector
PAX: CubCadet, Papa Bear, Pole Dancer, Subway, Toothless
FNGs: None
COUNT: 6
Gearing up to venture over to the esteemed AO of Atlantis, YHC opted to give the PAX what they want: a vote on the theme. Turns out October 16th is both World Food Day and Global Cat Day, so by a vote of 3 :black_cat: to 2 :canned_food:(I voted for both – hooray America!), the :black_cat: :cat2: took the win . . .

CONDITIONS: Purr-fect (see what I did there?)

PLAYLIST:
Stray :black_cat: Strut – Stray Cats
Cool for :black_cat: :cat2: – Squeeze
Black :black_cat: – Janet Jackson
Love :black_cat::cat2: – The Cure
What’s New Pussy:black_cat:? – Tom Jones

Mosey to Startex just in time

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Check the Slack for info on TN Tussle, Chiliteria and of course Octoburpee (it’s not too late to join – oh who am I kidding, of course it is, ’cause that means 2x burpees to catch up – eep).

COT:
Praises for M awards, movement on home selling.
Prayers for thoughtful leadership in the US and an end to the shutdown

MISC THOUGHTS:
– Playlist creation led to new music discoveries – a song called “Nashville Cats?” Perfection. ABBA has a tiger song . . . who knew?
– The food playlist for World Food Day was pretty good too – may have to dust that off in the future
– For a brief minute, Q almost decided to just play T Swift’s new album in full – Vector ain’t a hater and it’s got some bangers (even if one might be about a certain football player’s, ahem, :eggplant:).
