CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The PAX circled up and YHC took it out in a word of prayer.

MOLESKIN:
YHC made sure the PAX did not skip #Legday. Multiple requests for additional squats and lunges, so much in fact that YHC was extremely close to calling for a zombie walk to Bubbas. None of the Burpee dans were popular but the backwards lunges and decline burpees drew particular ire from the PAX.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC share with the PAX about the great success of the Flower Mound AO and Rocket Man’s leadership. We will be clown caring to FB the first three Saturday’s of December for those PAX interested in going. YHC challenged the men to be looking around at men in their neighborhood, work place, or circle of influence to see who needs to be encouraged during these months as the darkness of the day is longer and depression seems to come about more.

MOLESKIN:
YHC did not plan for 7 PAX to arrive ready to workout, this is higher than most Friday workouts, seeing that it was cold (49 degrees, felt like 38 accord to TWC). There was much to say about starting with SSH and not having any ISTs so YHC waited until the ½ way point when the mumblechatter was highly asking for such to add to this workout. What started off pretty simple added more difficulty as the PAX added Coupons to a couple of workouts. We made it through 28 of the original 30 workouts planned, we left off Burpees and Frog Jumps as they were the final workouts and we were out of time. Great workout for the PAX this gloom.

QIC: Icebox

AO: Katy Trail
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER:

WARM-O-RAMA:
Side Straddle Hops x20 IC
Imperial Storm Troopers x20 IC

THA THANG:
Before we began everyone grabbed two 2.5 lb weights from my ruck vest, these acted as our baby coupons and batons for the AM

Moseyed over to the track
400M warmup jog

Partnered up, since we had 9 we had 4 teams of 2 and I jumped on the AlrightAlright and jon team as a 3rd wheel which meant I just had to run around and wasn’t really racing because I’m too slow for it to matter.

Race 1: P1 runs 400M, P2 small pulses up with the baby coupons, switch
Race 2: P1 runs 400M, P2 shoulder presses up with the baby coupons, switch
Race 3: P1 runs 200M, P2 did triceps with the baby coupons, switch, and then do it again with another 200M sprint

Intermission: 800M fun run, jog the corners and spring the straight always (Aaarrrggghhh killed us in the jogs, he’s been holding back on his moseying skills)

Race 4: P1 runs 400M, P2 did something that I can’t remember with baby coupons, switch
Race 5: attempted to do a continuous 4X100 relay until all 4 teammates ran 400M…this race failed miserably, some of us ran 400M, some 600, and some 300M…I’ll go back to the drawing board for next time

Mosey back to La Madeline for 20 rugby sit-ups and prayed it out

MARY:

Thanks to all who came out, it was as fun as running can be. Will keep thinking about ways we can do relay races when we don’t know how many people are going to be at the workout. I now keep baby coupons in the car so if any other Q wants to use them just let me know and I’ll do my best to show up!
