Field Trip!

Field Trip!

11 men came out on this crisp morning to put in some work ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.  The idea was that we would work hard today so we could eat (relatively) guilt free next week.  It went down like this once the heart felt disclaimer was given.

Mosey over to the track and do a warm up lap.

Circle up for COP in the parking lot.

Mosey over to the church wall for some PC

2 rounds of 50 arm raises while we were there

We still had time for some sprints!

3 rounds of back and forth across the parking lot

We headed back to the launch point and still had 90 seconds left.  I wanted to make sure everyone got their money’s worth so we did Merkins until Slim Fast called time.

Moleskin:

·         It was mid 30’s this morning so I wanted to keep everyone moving.  I failed at this since the mumble chatter was very high throughout the workout.  Next time I will just run more…Spoiler alert.

·         I do not know everyone’s major in college who attended, but I question their math skills.  Counting during Mary was quite interesting, both in English and Spanish.  We got in 20-ish of each exercise.

·         Mary had many, er, moments this morning, not the least of which was a drive by by Dora.  He did slow down enough through the parking lot to speak to us.  I did not include him in the number count since you must at least get out of your vehicle to be counted as present.

·         I kept Jack Web a secret until it was time, since that and talking about running are all I hear Benny speak about lately.  Benny, we got in both of your favorite activities today, so I hope you are pleased.

·         I heard snippets of wearing skirts, gun holsters, free t-shirts among many other things this morning.  Please chime in with any other tid bits I may have missed.

·         Peak rocks.  I know I am a little biased but we have an excellent core group of guys that show up every week and work hard.  It is always an honor to lead.

·         Thanks to Lois and Sensei for the opportunity…Wait, I am site co-Q and nobody was on the schedule.  I lost the coin flip so…

·         Just kidding, while the prior statement is true, it is a joy to lead at Peak.  I look forward to the next time when we will just run for 45 minutes.  Slim Fast and I have many routes through downtown Matthews we can lead folks through.

·         Thanks Slim Fast for the takeout.
