He had a red light to turn and it was 20 outside, so we’re good :doughnut:. Head up Ballantyne Commons towards Brighthouse (the new Metlife). Dynamic exercises commence.
THE THANG: 13min out Ballantyne Commons, Left on Elm. Regroup for 5min. Head back the way you came for 13min.

Despite the temps, it was dry and not windy (fleetwood weather report from the prerun), and actually pretty nice outside :relaxed:. Don’t look for the temp predicted for next week or you’ll start shaking now :cold_face:
MARY: only frasier was spotted amongst the core today, planking prior to COT. gumbo was stretching, but that didn’t count.
