The Bible Answer Man texted late yesterday, inviting YHC on a pre-run before UA. My posting stats have been down recently, so it seemed like a good option. After a slow-to-most-but-hey-not-bad-pace-to-Wobe mosey around downtown, we met up with the Assaliants and got down to it. Shovel Flag planted, circle up, here we go. 49 degrees, can’t beat it.

Warm-O-Rama

A virtual greatest hits of WOR work.

Over to the Coal Pit for…

THE THANG

PHASE 1: THE SINGLE CLASSIC DORA

100 Merkins
200 Squats
300 LBCs

PHASE 2: THE DOUBLE DORA

The running partner runs down, does two burpees, and runs back. Everyone loved this.

100 Shoulder Taps
200 Lunges
300 Low Flutters

PHASE 3: THE TRIPLE DORA

The running partner runs down, does three Mike Tysons, and runs back. Again, a fan favorite.

100 Carolina Dry Docks
100 Reverse Lunges
100 American Hammers

Just enough time to mosey back and a round of Mary by committee and planking out the last minute.

COT:

Mutton and his M are hosting a benefit dinner for Brenner’s in November; see him.
IPC keeps happening! You may not like it, but accept it.
Reminder that keeping any AO going needs effort; this whole crazy thing works when we work.
Prayers for the family of a friend of Bam’s who passed away from breast cancer; funeral today.
Prayers for my M, whose routine, minor, not-scary-but-still skin cancer treatment has turned into a healing debacle that will involve a lawyer at some point. Anyone know a good one?
Seriously, eff cancer.

NMM:

As far as I can tell, Mutton and Spicoli solved the issues that higher education is having. Doing the Lord’s work out here before 6am.
Starfish is so fast now, dang.
T-Claps to B-A “Running Is Stupid” M for the push for the EC, it was a good start to the day.
Lambchop cares for those with shoulder issues, despite his love for burpees.
YHC banged his shin on a chair right after calling said burpees, and the pax made it clear that karma is a thing.
Coffee after was excellent.

Thanks for the keys, Spicoli. While I squandered the chance for rhinestones and country music on 9-25 Dolly Day, it was still a good morning.
