Moleskin

Twas a cool morning with some reporting down to 36F, which is a good thing since the snakes would not be active.  It was notable cooler down in the woods than up on the parkway. 

The sticks offered a different type of challenge with the grip and a wider stance, as opposed to the normal type grip on a kettlebell.  So make sure to post for the virtual Cauldron tomorrow and work a different set of muscles!  

Five showed for the 0510 social distancing OTB.  YHC then did a reverse course walkthrough with the 4.0 and 4.1 (dogs *scooby*Rocco and Goose) and saw the Ultraman on his six conducting chest presses with a rather big stick in his hands *twss* and then again has he completed his workout with Monkey Humpers *monkey* at casa de Topgun. 

Timing for the event worked out pretty well, with just enough time to do 10x low flutters, dieing cockroaches, Dot the I (for Toxic) and of course, wrapped it up with 10x J Lo's for Amen. 

Die Hard added for the third wave! 

Hope that others get out there and give it a shot.  Plenty of coupons left in the pile.   

Good luck.  We are all counting on you.

TG sends,
