Four hearty souls made it out on a Tuesday morning, at 21 degrees Fahrenheit, and were clearly in need of inspiration and perspiration. Here is the 411.
Warm-o-Rama
Front skip, backwards skip, Karaoke x 2, SSH, TS, Windmill, Cherry pickers and Mercans
The Thang
In a unique twist based on it being too cold out for weights and a lack of any extensive alternate planning, Pax provided with a democratic option to choose the workout. Four options were presented:
-
The Murph
-
Sprintervals
-
Timing exercises at the benches
-
Moseying tour of the Quarry with a smattering of pain stations along the way
Pax unanimously choose the moseying tour of the Quarry.

Good call on Pax selecting option 4. Although we have done something similar recently, it’s really good to keep moving in the cold.
-
There is a direct relationship between the lower temps and the lack of mumblechatter. Body can’t waste precious energy when it’s so cold. Or perhaps it’s just because Oktoberfest did not show
-
Consecutive streak of Pax having never voluntarily chosen the Murph continues
-
Nice touch voicing over the “squats with flair” motions on the around the world lunges since these exercises are related
-
It’s apparently tough to find an F3 workout in Chapel Hill to attend, even if you research it in advance and jog 1.5 miles to the alleged meeting point
-
There is a GoFundMe page that has been created to fund sweatpants (or calf sleeves) for Grip
-
Although the pre-blast picture has been distributed previously, I do really like her smile
-
In a theatrical surprise, Jumanji was a highly entertaining movie
-
Continued prayers for Kevin’s daughter who is recovering from surgery

Not sure about yooz, but I am inspired
