Chasing Light Poles

THE SCENE: Upper 50s and dry
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
Some stretching and warming was accomplished.
THA-THANG:
Run to a light pole and do 10 jump squats, 10 merkins, and 3 burpees.  Run to the next light pole and do the same set of exercises, same reps.  Run to the next light pole, etc.  Once back at the first pole, do 23 SSHs on a 4 count.  Then repeat until time.  There were 19 stops per lap around the park, but we did some light poles twice because we passed them both ways.  Most of us made it to 24 light poles, but Snitch and Mouthwash made it to 27.  Potato Head had to leave early or he would have done 30 something.

Fellowship mosey back to the AO.

MARY:
We had time to do ATMs to cash out before the weekend.

There were some sad clowns playing pickleball outside of the posted hours.

Also, two HIMs who I’ve worked out with almost every week for years—who have a profession in common—just met each other today. Good reminder to break your routine every once in a while.

Seriously, thank you.  There’s been a change for the better.  It’s been great.  Gives me hope.  And really, I don’t like being able to see what I’m doing in the gloom.  We need to go back to the old lighting.  Think that’ll fly with KCP&R?
