Moleskin:
Thank you Young Love for the Q and for Hannibal, who is traveling today #youwerewithusinspirit. Decided to go off campus for most of today. Scouted the Trader Joes shopping center at 5:10am this morning and deemed it to be a worthwhile trip. On paper, it didn’t seem that bad, but it was harder than I thought.
Did everyone have to be at work at 6am? Cars were everywhere on Rea and Bevington Pl. this morning, which made crossing the street super fun and safe, #disclaimer. Cars were even interrupting our AYG’s at the end, #norespect. I didn’t anticipate playing frogger this morning, but glad no one got hit. I told Young Love we need some signs that say “watch for F3 crossing” just like the watch for children signs. Or maybe just employ a crossing guard from 5:30am to 6:15am. Or maybe a cop. Or maybe YL can park his car on Rea and just block traffic.
I have no idea where plank jacks came from. Wasn’t planning on calling that exercise but my mind went blank and it was the first thing that popped into my head.
Lobsta Roll owned the circuit. Simba is getting faster by the day! Grateful to YL for watching the six.
Welcome FNG – Nature Boy! Hope to see again soon in the gloom! It doesn’t get easier, you just get stronger.
Mumble chatter was virtually nonexistent. I guess that means it was a good workout.
In total, we hit 2.5 miles with 100 derkins, 100 squats, 40 burpees, 120 LBC’s, 100 jump ups, 100 dips, and a lot of mary.
