The weather was a lot better than the forecast. The rain stopped in time for the workout and the temperature was a manageable 41 at launch. Speaking of the launch – Omega had pre-balsted a Standard – but after a run and pick-up basketball yesterday, he pampered himself with an extra 30 minutes of sleep and let Soprano and Kid Rock handle the Standard without him.
Matt Marino – yet another Rome, NY transplant – posted for his second time and was given the F3 handle Isotoner. Marino, Dan Marino, Isotoner commercials from the the 80's (90's?). Welcome – looking foward to your third post.
YHC had just been in Vegas for a conference – so I had games of chance on my mind. I brought a few large dice (smooth and not fuzzy) to add to the post.
But first the Warm-o-rama: SSH, Windmill, IST, Mountain Climbers, Downward dog'ish type stretching.
Shamelessly stealing from Toxic's workout on Friday – we moseyed to the painted track that circles the parking lot. Grab a partner. Partner 1 – farmer carries both bells counter clockwise around the track. Partner 2 runs clockwise around the track – when you meet, exchange bells. We circled the track until each partner carried 4 or 5 times.
THE THANG:
Each Pax took a turn rolling the dice – exercises were done based on the following list:
2 – 10 SHOULDER TOUCH MERICANS
3 – 10 8-CT BURNERS
4 – 20 CHEST PRESS
5 – 10 LAWN MOWERS EACH ARM
6 – 20 SUMO SQUATS
7 – 20 SWINGS
8 – 20 CURLS
9 – 10 CURL TO PRESS
10 – 20 SKULL CRUSHERS
11 – 10 8-CT BURNERS
12 – 10 BURPEES
Once we went around the circle (14 exercises) – we did some lunge walking and Zamparinni with the bells – and then took another loop around the track – no bells.
Continue rolling dice until we made it about 1/2 way around the circle. We ended with Burpees and Shoulder Touch mericans – because we hadn't rolled a 12 or a 2 yet.
Take another loop around the track.

– Good group this morning – good numbers given the forecast
– Got an update from Kid Rock at Coffeteria that he is definitely on the mend following Meniscus surgery. Keep healing up, brother.
– Great to have Isotoner out – he continues the long line of EH's by Omega. May our circle ever continue to grow.
– Always an honor and a pleasure to be with the PAX. Love the boost I get from taking the Q.
Peace,
Holiday
