Pax Count: 7
Pax List: Frizzle, Gates, TBR, Tofu, Tommy John, Vertigo
FNG Count: 0
Downrange:

Warm up:

Motivators (10-8-6-4-2), weed pickers, imperial walkers, hillbillies, neck rolls, torso rolls

The Thang:

Tennis court for “chase the tail”: pax mosey in single file around courts while lead pax sprints ahead until they reach back of line; next leading pax sprints ahead, etc. until all have run.

Pax jogged/side shuffled across courts while The Police’s Roxanne played, every time Sting sang “Roxanne” pax did a burpee (~28).

The Rig: “crazy 8’s” (instead of 11s) of chin-ups and dips. Many pax did pull-ups instead (???).

Tennis court Dora: one pax lunge-walked or bear crawled forward and backwards across court, other pax did ab exercise. Changed exercises when song changed: knee-elbow touch (plank position, cross body), flutter kicks, plank (choice hold), dying cockroach, bicycles.

CoT:

Prayers for Jumbo recovery, prayers for focused attention (Gates’ millionth job interview, Vertigo considering next career steps, Tommy John and a busy week ahead)

Naked Man Moleskin:

It’s about money, sure. But it’s really about priorities, and how we think about our responsibilities as humans to one another. Do we understand that caring for a child, or an elder, or someone who needs medical care [is] part of our responsibility as members of society? Of a community? Or will we continue to buy into the deeply atomized, individualistic norms of American society that are, quite frankly, making even people with the most means and privilege pretty damn miserable?
