THA-THANG:
Mosey away from the fountains in the direction of the amphitheater, running around the theater and coming back in from the far side.  Assemble near the stage to start 11’s routine.  PAX instructed to start with 10 Catalina wine mixers at the bottom on the stage (on wood planks instead of concrete, easier on the elbows), lunge up the middle two sections of stairs, finish with 1 squat jump at the top, then run down the outside sections of stairs.  Normal 11’s procedure, decrease reps of Catalina wine mixers each iteration while increasing reps of squat jumps.

Jack rabbits perform ab exercises on the stage awaiting the rest to finish up.  Butterfly led side crunches, Abort on flutter kicks, Pfeiffer on American hammers, Soot on flat leg sit ups, Quarantine on heals to heaven.  Recover and 10 count.  Run out the back side of the amphitheater and again around and back to the war memorial near the start point.

Partner up with someone you haven’t partnered with before for Dora routine.  Partner one performs exercises while partner two runs to the other end of the parking lot, up the small stairs, performs two burpees, and returns to relieve partner one.  Flapjack and continue until all exercises complete:

  • Dips x100
  • Flutter kicks on four count x100
  • Box jumps x100

Recover, 10 count, and run around the long way and back to start point for Mary

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
As men, we tend to take the long way around.  Sometimes, taking the hard path or the long way (like in a workout) is a great thing to do.  However, when it comes to happiness, that is an area that I challenge myself and those around me to NOT take the long way around.  We don’t need to get that perfect job, to achieve that higher paycheck, to afford the house and the cars and the stress free life to achieve happiness.  In this case, we need to take the short path by realizing the incredible blessings we already have.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
