The Thang:

For The Thang, we let the music take control and did a specific exercise for the entirety of a song.  It went a little something like this….

“Stairway to Heaven” – Led Zeppelin (8:02):  Run up the stairs from the fields to parking lot with 10 Heels to Heaven at the top.  OYO R&R

“Distance” – Cake (2:58) and “Running Down a Dream” – Tom Petty (4:21): mosied to the track, 2 laps then around the back of DHS to the front benches

“Push It” – Salt-N-Pepa (4:31): rotation of 10 Derkins, 10 Dips and 10 Merkins OYO R&R

“Mary, Mary” – RUN DMC (3:14): Time for some mary – 10 American Hammers, 15 Leon’s Box Cutters, 1min Elbow Plank.   Gold Bond was interrupted as we moved to the next station (but he would be back)

“Jump” – Van Halen (3:59): Down to the “pit” for box jumps to the top of the pit then 10 Toyotas at the top. OYO R&R

“Mary Jane’s Last Dance” – Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (4:33): a little more Mary and back to Gold Bond for 15 hand to forearm planks, 10 Dunwoody Debbies (or Northsides), 10 Ankle Touches, and a couple others that I have since forgot (sorry guys if I missed you)

“The Final Countdown” – Europe (5:10):  a quick mosie to the CoT then Burpies OYO until the song ends

We closed out with 10 Monkey Humpers (to the smooth sounds of actual Chimpanzees – the interweb is a wonderful place, thanks Al Gore)

CoT:

Iron Pax starting with week 0 next week.  Look on slack for signup.

Prayer requests for Snake Oil’s father, Stevie Wonder’s father and daughter, a family friend of Bailout whose family lost their father unexpectedly at age 50 and a local Dunwoody neighbor with Down Syndrome battling sever complications from Covid.

Naked Man Moleskin:

For those keeping the total length of the playlist (excluding Chimp noises ) was 44:33.  Much more fun than actually doing work….
