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.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
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.

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.
