Plenty of stretching

THE THANG:
I came bearing gifts…CMUs

Partner up. One partner farmer carries CMU down US parking lot. Other partner does 3 BBS and runs to catch partner, then switch.

Stationed at LS cafeteria. Dora-style workout. One partner completes exercise while other moves to bus and back. One twist – both partner’s CMU must be used at all times.

Exercises were:
-rows
-walls sits
-OH press
-toe merkins
-curls

Completed two rounds then slowesy to mid point of parking lot where we resumed our first exercise making our way up behind the US to the resting place for the CMUs under the softball ramp.

Stopped at the turf for 10 no handed getups. Moseyed back to the flag for a few merkins

COT:
Discussed some takeaways from the book “Into the Wild.”
-life with less can be more fulfilling
-experienced are best when shared
-document your own life with pictures and/or journals
-Subject of the book blindly trusted so many strangers for rides, shelter, employment, etc and received a lot of help. What would happen if we all gave people we don’t know the benefit of the doubt? Gave them compassion, love, and respect as the default?

Worth a read, there is also a movie.
