THE THANG:

Head down to the parking lot for the mini Dora–includes sets of Burpees, Squats, Merkins, and Drydocks.

Mini Mary

MOLESKINE:

I have a confession–I did not want to get up this morning. I’ve been pulled in 12 different directions at work with no end in sight. I’ve had to drop a class (ie. $2500 pissed away) because I was in a solid ‘F’ category. My running this week has been very poor. I submitted to stress eating yesterday. I spent 35 minutes on my porcelain throne this AM. My joints (and not my member) were unusually stiff this morning. I would have rated myself 3/10 when I pulled up this morning.

That’s the thing about the-discipline. You get up and show up irrespective of what’s going on in your life. Sometimes you’re even called to lead when things aren’t going well. The daily discipline of the King is often inviting, but sometimes it is completely opposite. the-discipline is cold and indifferent to how you’re feeling.

So you get up and go chase it anyway. That’s just how it works.

The majority of my musical teenage taste was focused on Rock and pretentiously seeking out Indie music. However my punk rock friends and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 added a little SKA flavor to my Youth. After seeing this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4nKY1QfWvg about Bart SKA-mpson, I felt inspired to dig into the genre and torture the PAX with my findings.

CONDITIONS: Amazing Sunrise

WARMUP:
Mosey to the Stairs. PAX was informed that is the SKA man started yelling “Get it Up Get it Up Get it Up” we would have to stop what we are doing and run up the stairs…… spoiler alert that happened a few times.

SKANKING – SKA version of an imperial walker – arms are more loose and your kind of hoping. Its a SKA thing…
