THA-THANG:
Mosey out of start point, and out of the park making a left onto Hotel. Once at the light with Broadway, hit the button for the crossing (which we just missed). Knock out squats while we wait, then start merkins and the light changes. Hop up and cross over Broadway and run across the Exxon parking lot, making another left down Essary and stop in the Regions bank parking lot
Five exercises on the ground for the escalator. Start with the first exercise, then run a lap around the bank hugging the outside curb. Return, knock out first and second exercises and run another lap. So on adding an exercise to the routine each time. Exercises as follows:
- Merkins x10
- Flutter kicks x10
- Sit up UPS x10
- Lunges x10 (each leg)
- Burpees x10
Once the lead group was close to finishing up, I would break out the hidden chalk and add another exercise. Which meant going back through the list again to do the new last exercise. Did this twice with actual exercises and then when everyone was rolling back in after the seventh round I made sure they saw me writing, but number eight was “Just kidding” – Exercises as follows:
- Crawl bear the drive thru (arrow to arrow on the ground)
- OH Claps x10
- Just kidding
10 count recovery then mosey back the way we came. Again stopping at Broadway and knocking out squats while we waited on the lot. Someone suggested monkey humpers for the next time…
Mosey back to start point and run right through it and find a bench. Ran short on time so only got to go through one round of 10 step ups and 10 dips.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Sometimes you think you’re about to cross the finish line, only to find out the line has moved and there is more work to be done. It’s funny what when you that finish line comes into view, you feel like you’ve given all your effort because you know you’re about to be able to stop. In my life, I may think because something is getting marked off the list (so to speak) and that I did something to the best of my abilities. If I really think about it, I can always find more room for more work to be done or find something that could have been done better.
MOLESKIN:
Chaucer with a job interview coming up, teachers and administrators of our schools as the new year begins, Mr. Wedgie’s friend Matt in his difficult decisions, Filter’s pastor’s daughter (can’t remember her name) and her health
