(Insert Clever Title)

Date: 2025-04-03 AO: sparta Q: Happy Meal PAX: baracus, hoover, Keystone, turkey_leg FNGs: None COUNT: 5 YHQ didn’t time his morning well, but made it right at 0515 and picked up the Pax while running in from my car. We ran by the new Beer Temple, but they were closed so we went back to main street and headed to Crestdale. I was surprised at how crowded the school was at 0530, and decided to run down to the track for a quick warmup.
The Thang: Run a lap and do 5 diamond merkins, 5 merkins, 5 right hand forward merkins, 5 left hand forward, and 5 wide. 4x = 1 mile.
Next, we moseiyd on the track 100m, sprinted 100m, then recovered back to the start for a called exercise 3 times (lbc, Freddie merc, supermans). The 4lap we did it backwards with burpees at the end. Since we lost 400m on the NUR, we did an easy Native American Indian run once around the track. The treck back home was the same where we passed CBT, but they were still closed.
Unfortunately I missed COT, but I know someone covered. Was good to be in the A51 gloom again! 👊
