The Thang
Mosey to back, max pullups and then roll Michelle out, grab a block and fill up wheelbarrow- head to the front.
Take out blocks, 1 for each pax, and do three exercises:
10 x Frog burpees
10 x Block ups (pull yourself up with block weight)
10 x overhead block presses laying down
Blocks back in wheelbarrow
Tie tow strap onto Michelle and 3 pax dragged Michelle up little baby hill. One pax pushed wheelbarrow with blocks up little baby hill. Other moseys behind for moral support.
10x block curls for girls at top of hill.
Return to AO with tire and wheelbarrow.
Repeato 2 more times.
Still some time so we decided to do a trial!
10 x burpees
5 pax drag Michelle up the BIG HILL! 3 at a time and rotate in as we ran out of juice. The guys crushed it!!!
At the grassy knoll: one pax flips tire, jumps in and out of it and returns to back of lunge walk line. Next pax flips tire and jumps through and returns to end of line….
At end of grassy knoll turn around and same thang back except we did broad jump line.
Tie up Michelle again and drag her down the big hill. Halfway down with Anvil at the helm the strap broke. Pax rejoiced and looked stunned. Anvil performed immediate surgery with a stellar knot and the pain continued.
Return to AO, untie Michelle and roll back to spot in back playground. Return blocks as well.
10 hanging toe touches to finish up with a trail run.

10 x Dr Ws
10 x Hello Dollys

The Story of the Mexican Fisherman – Be More with Less
Link above should work to take you to this parable I found again this week. Tied in nicely with this financial podcast I also listened to asking 3 questions: 1) If you had enough money to do whatever you wanted what would you do? 2) If you received a diagnosis telling you in 10 years you would be gone but until then be fine what would you do? 3) If you received a diagnosis telling you that you only had 24 hours what would you do?
Made me think about the life I live now, the one I hope to live someday and why is there a disconnect between the two, aka what am I waiting for? Of course applies beyond money into personal relationships, faith and other commitments.
Moleskin:
-Strudel later admitted to slowly cutting through the strap with his fingernails to stop the tire drag.
-Anvil was also smiling as retribution for my tearing of the bertha sandbag this summer.
-Cheetah gave me some good ideas to adapt the tire pulling which I will try next time!
-We spotted a Weedman truck passing by the AO as we finished up and Dandelion gave a slight head nod. You know that part in flight club where everyone secretly knows the guy and he seems to have followers everywhere????
