Count: 12

WARMUP: Following the warm up which included at least 35 Imperial Walkers designed to reduce mumblechatter (didn’t work), we proceeded to the the Thang.

THE THANG: Four stations were assembled around the greenway near the gazebo. Each station had a sheet with a card suit (hearts, clubs, diamonds, spades) and four ab exercises. PAX were instructed to select a card from a deck and travel to the appropriate suit sheet and perform the exercises (+10) based on the card drawn. (Ex: Jack = 10+10=20 or 3+10=13). The team with the best hand wins. If you make it past 5 rounds, you can gamble and discard until time is up. Congrats to Goose, Spit Valve and Char-Grill on their winning hand. Kudos to Boyz to Men, Phunny and Dowry for some how getting two of the same cards. That’s got to account for something.

ANNOUNCEMENTS/COT: Welcome back Goose for the weekend! Lunch next Friday at Pickled Onion on 401. Fireside Fellowship at Lucky’s, Oct. 25. Bourbon Share at Green Thumb’s, Nov 8. Praises for my daughter returning to school and for all those other prayers and praised unspoken. You know them. Also sorry for the crappy blurry photo. Didn’t mean to the focus of the workout, literally.
