Amazing and humbling to see so many, and all in tanktops! \u00a0\ud83d\ude02.

OMG I had no idea! \u00a0So exciting and made me so happy and feeling the love of great friends. Quickly realized my planned workout needed revision. Did the usual Warmarama, but left out Y-flies to do soon when we started spelling:<\/p>\n<p>Ranger merkins<\/p>\n<p>E2K or Elbow to Knee (same as mutton crunch but full crunch touching E to K)<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Toy soldier walk<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Irkins<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">RL step ups<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Elevated leg raises <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Derkins<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">LL step ups<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Irkins<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Flies of the Y variety\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>E2K<\/p>\n<p>Then to parking lot in front of school. Strolled to 2nd island so we had 4 sections left. Bear crawl with 3 merkins each parking space for 1st and 3rd sections, lunge walk with 3 squats each space for 2nd and 4th sections of the lot. Then we split up into 2 groups and went to the 2 playgrounds for 3 rounds of 10 pull-ups, 20 merkins, 30 squats. Then to school walls (3 sides!) for 2 min wall sit and 1 min BTTW. Back to start for Mary: \u00a0LBC\u2019s, lo-flutter, and 3 Huck Merkins! (Maybe more but not sure\u2026). \u00a0Then HUGE COT and name-arama (see the video) \u00a0 First part of one of the best days of my life (first Thursday HH&amp;H at my house later same day was also fantastic)<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 720px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-24144-1\" width=\"720\" height=\"1280\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.f3winstonsalem.com\/f3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/6062246253785209308img_5169.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.f3winstonsalem.com\/f3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/6062246253785209308img_5169.mp4\">https:\/\/www.f3winstonsalem.com\/f3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/6062246253785209308img_5169.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>wow! \u00a0Retirement Rock Quarry blew my mind so bad it took a week to get a BB done.
