The Thang
Mosey from Arrowhead to 3rd & State, then did a speed workout up & down 3rd St:
2 blocks hard pace but not a sprint (about 2 min/mile faster than you normally run), followed by 2 blocks recovery jog, rinse & repeat without stopping for ~22 minutes.
Mosey back to Arrowhead for Mary
Mary: we only had 1 minute so we did Marionettes X 10
Circle of Trust
Coat Factory talked about jelly beans and his struggle with eating too much sugar and other unhealthy foods, especially at work. The point being that our workouts are only part of the battle in staying healthy, you can’t out-work a bad diet, we should all be making an effort to eat healthy too, and I welcome anyone who wants to hold me accountable to that.
Naked Man Moleskin
The humidity ruled again today, it almost feels like we are getting used to it.
Mini Me, have fun on your trip to Disney, we’ve got things covered while you are gone but look forward to your return.
Dr. Evil, hope your work for the next couple weeks is mostly inside, summer is here with a vengeance.
Skinner, hope your secretary doesn’t get too concerned by all the merkins you are going to do in your office.
Hot Rod, put down the ice cream man, just set it down and walk away.
