The warm rain re-hydrated us after a few days of dry, cracking skin. We all have shining, supple skin now, enough to make a Mary Kay lady jealous. Cosmo’s beard grew another inch during the workout alone. All PAX agreed that 60 F and raining is much preferred to 33 F and raining.

Warmup

• 25 SSH
• 25 high knees
• 25 butt kicks
• 10 WMH

PAX mosied over to the playground for 10 quick pullups

The Thang

“Teddy Roosevelt” (AKA “Poetry in Motion”): Rotate reading a quote by William Barclay while holding a low squat. Remaining PAX perform T-merkins on the wet, wet ground. When reading completes, rotate to next reader, and switch to Freddy Mercuries. Alternate until everyone has read.

Intervals: Mosied to the Tobacco Trail and found the first quarter mile marker. Dropped a light, and started running at an uncomfortably fast pace to the next quarter mile marker, and dropped another light. Run between lights at uncomfortable pace, then rest to catch breath. Rinse (really continually being rinsed) and repeat running between the lights until reaching a cumulative 2 miles.

Mary

• Mosied to the park shelter and did a side plank ring of fire

CoT

Secret announcements to involve PAX in a nice gesture to an F3 brother this coming spring. No prayer requests.

“There is nothing more dangerous than the repeated experiencing of a fine emotion with no attempt to put it into action. It is a fact that every time we feel a generous impulse without taking action, we become less likely ever to take action. In a sense, it is true to say that we have no right to feel sympathy unless we at least attempt to put that sympathy into action. An emotion is not something in which to luxuriate; it is something which at the cost of effort and of toil and of discipline and of sacrifice must be turned into the stuff of life.”

–William Barclay, The Letters of James and Peter
