Full moon or close to it and 28 degrees F. Perfect conditions for our intrepid CJ crew who come each week seeking to get muscles and hearts pumping.

WARM-UP
SSH x 50 IC (it was cold outside!)
Willie Mayes Hayes x 10 IC
Imperial Walkers x 15 IC
Mt Climbers x 25 IC
Good Mornings x 10
Hillbillies x 15 IC

MAIN EVENT
Mosey around grass rectangle in front to find a line of picnic benches. There we did:
20 Dips
20 Derkins
Repeat

To the up to now neglected grass rectangle where we did Lunge Equalizers:
Lunge walk IC (3 steps), stop and overhead clap once on first IC lunge (3 steps), then two overhead claps on next IC lunge walk (3 steps) and so on such that after 20 IC lunges allure doing 20 overhead claps. (More work for the quads than the shoulders but was close.)

Mosey to parking lot and starting at one end did Suicide Sprints.
Sprint to first, second and third medians and back with 10 Carolina Dry Docks at each return to start.
Recovery Mike Tysons x 10
Repeat above Suicide Sprint but with Squats x 10 at each start

MARY in the MIDDLE
Some intermission Straight Leg Heals to Heaven and ROC Hammers

Mosey some more to a wall on an incline for Caterpillar B2Wall. PAX lined up in Balls to the Wall formation and top of incline PAX bear crawled down to the last PAX on the wall and assumed B2W position along side. Next PAX on top of incline followed with bear crawl to bottom and did B2W next to the most recently arrived PAX. And so on. Worked ok but need longer wall.

Mosey to parking circle up top for Radiant Bunny. That is, we all aligned around the center circle facing the opposite parking spaces and their curbs. We Bunny Hopped to the opposite curb and back with the first to arrive calling out the next exercise x 20 that we all do. Yo-Yo, Fish & Chips and Tricurious all hopped to it and chose, LBCs, Merkins, and Lunge Jumps, respectively. Nice.

MARY at the END
Medley of Hello Dollies, Freddie Mercuries, Supermans, Side Hip Dips, Flutters.

COT
Sending our positive vibe brain waves to Yo-Yo is starting a new job with people who sell stuff. Appreciation for our crew including silverback/beards and the inspiration found in older athletes – Olympians as well as the home grown kind in our midst.

Coffeteria for some warm java under that moon, slinking away while Sol, the show off, made all the morning clouds blaze orange.
