Pookie warmed up the Pax with a quick round of in cadence exercises-SSHx20, mountain climbers x15, slow merkins x12, arm circles x10 fore and aft and WMHx8. After discussion and upon motion unanimously approved, the Pax determined to forego splitting into two groups so one could go play with blocks, choosing instead to stick together for a “Special treat” from Moore.  Yes, a mosey to the park & ride lot revealed the return of the sleds. Let the chariot races begin! But not before a round of parking lot partnered burpees, 1 per parking space across the lot. The long way across the lot.  The Good Guys won round 1 and then everyone rested with a round of 2 hand release merkins per parking space line. The Other Team shuffled their line up and strategy and evened the score in Heat #2.  Parking space bingo round 3 was 3 squats per spot. Then all moseyed back towards the AO, sleds held high for the grand finale race- up Market Street from Kildare to Aberdeen.  Thanks to smooth handoffs and heroic hauling by Moore, Prancing Horse and Uke, the Good Guys squeaked out a come from behind victory in the rubber match.  An All American Mary celebration of J Lo’s, Twizzlers, Nolan Ryans, flutters and American hammers closed out the work out.

COT-Pookie encouraged the Pax to celebrate our in(ter)dependence on this Fourth of July weekend.  Celebrate how we each show up for each other and lift one another up.

About 10 for Sludge Slurry Coffeteria, thanks to Vice’s equipment and supplies, Pookie’s courier service and Funyun scrupulously following the Vice coffee recipe (half the water, all the coffee). 2  for EC, 2 canines and exactly one Starsky (Manafort).
