Gen Z’s Icy Tears

AO: greenmachine
Q: Michelin Man
PAX: moneyshot, Cowboy, Focker, Puzzlah, Shania, Betty Ford, Mermaid (F3 Knoxville), preacherman, Leather Boobie
FNGs: None
COUNT: 10
CONDITIONS: quite warm… comparatively. preacherman didn’t even need gloves.

WARMUP: side straddle hops and imperial squat walkers while Cowboy put up the flag.

PLAYLIST: Gracie Abrams. :fire: Michelin Man asks Betty Ford and Puzzlah why Gen Z music is so sad?

THE THANG:

1. First Nations Run. Pass the present (a 20lb ruck plate. Welcome Shania to the world if nashville-rucking) back and the last man runs it back to the front. Drop the present and do a burpee. YHC and AOQ Cowboy seems to keep dropping the present… I think we ran 1 mile.

2. Mosey to end zone. Partner up. One partner runs to 20, does 3 Star jumps, and runs back. Other partner does 100 reps of a series of exercises. We did merkins, WW1s, squats, lunges, flutter kicks, Jane fondas, and then merkins for the 6. Focker noted that the playlist seemed repetitive. Perhaps Gracie Abrams music needs more plot twists like her dad’s TV shows?

3. Do #1 again.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: leanpax. Today is half way! YHC fell off my diet the last two days and his back on today.

COT: pray for Antioch. Several others mentioned.

Lord, thank you for the power and privilege we have and guide us to use those gifts not to build our own thrones but to build your kingdom.
