THE THANG: Pretty simple loops around the roughly 3/4 of a mile loop of the red light district with stops at the 3 main intersections for 5 merkins, 5 lbcs and 5 jump squats. Rinsed and repeat till around 6:05 then off we went back to the ABC Store. Sorry for repeating your q from months on end Ductwork, crazy day at work the day prior putting my 2 weeks notice in at my current job meant I had to come up with a workout plan quick on our way to the red light district. Option 2 would’ve been the mermaid. ANNOUNCEMENTS: Fast Twitch will be closed on Christmas Eve and New Years Eve, anyone in the area looking to run go converge with Swift on Christmas Eve and keep an eye on slack for any convergences.
YHC sent an email out for Q’s going into 2025, took Ductworks approach of scheduling out 6 months in advance. The slack dates should be set up by the end of the weekend. COT: Astro with the strong takeout
