Madoff’s Challenge

THE SCENE: Dry and upper 50s, not typical June weather
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
Lots of stretching
THA-THANG:
Madoff is traveling a lot and doing 100 merkins and 100 squats a day.  So, we walked to various points in the park and did 100 merkins and 100 squats at each stop.  It was a heavy day, so we carried a rock.  Since yesterday was the anniversary of D-Day, we rifle-carried the rock as we walked.  We stopped four times.  We walked from the AO to the flag pole, then to the circle basketball court, then to the bathhouse, then to the new splash pad (where it was thoroughly analyzed and critiqued – verdict: downgrade), before returning to the AO.

MARY:
The workout was perfectly timed, so we didn’t have time for Mary.

5 HIMs

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Talked about D-Day and the fact that for most of those soldiers: the first time they flew in a plane, they had to jump out of it; the first time they were in a boat, they exited hauling gear and faced bullet fire; and the first time they left home, they had to kill or be killed.  That generation was just made different and probably better.

MOLESKIN:
Prayers for the summer, everyone traveling, and Snowbird’s grandfather.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Nothing mentioned, but we probably forgot something.

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.
