WARMUP: Lily started us off with some good ol’ stretching exercises that were borderline The Thang, include Curly Stomps, Tempo Squats, and Tempo Merkins! Pele Sweat Level: (PSL) Moderate already…

THE THANG: Lily took us to the new workout area, preliminarily called LA Beach. We did stations there and ran in the parking lot between sets. Switched off to Pusher, who started us moseying before Ol’ Pele was back from the end of the lot. PSL: Severe

Pusher took us up Pickett’s Charge, doing something painful at the bottom of each hill. Can’t remember, since I was beginning to become dehydrated and starting to hallucinate. We did some things with rocks and cones, though, as I recall, and ran around the Colosseum area until it was time to pass it off to….

PELE! Finally! My turn had arrived. Put down an insurrection that was attempting to hijack the Q and have us go up Everest to show it off to Mouth to Mouth, who was DR from GA. Nope. Not enough time to do that (or was there?… we’ll never know…). Did Route 66 (Peter Parkers) to Pav-a-Lon. Then did some PT sets, running around the building and then the parking lot until Time. PSL: Critical flow. Everything soaked. Everything…

MARY: Did some Homer/Marge and Hello dollies mixed in. Stretching until time. PSL: Pruning up from stewing in own sweat.

COT: Talked about the importance of joy and humor by recounting some funny F3 stories. PSL: Formed a substantial sweat puddle in the prayer from sweat dripping off head. Also was unknowingly giving Snitch a form of Chinese Sweat Torture from sweat dripping on his arm in the circle. :face_holding_back_tears:

COT:

One day an old Cherokee man sits down with his grandson to teach him about life.
“A fight is going on inside of me,” he says to the boy. “It’s a terrible fight between two wolves. One is evil – he is full of rage, jealousy, arrogance, greed, sorrow, regret, lies, laziness, and self-pity.”
He continues, “The other is good – he is filled with love, joy, peace, generosity, truth, empathy, courage, humility, and faith. This same fight is going on inside the hearts of everyone, including you.”
The grandson thinks about this for a few minutes, and then asks his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”
The old Cherokee simply replies, “The one you feed.”

Finished by picking up the course supplies while Hands yelled words of encouragement from the intersection at Northshore
