5 PAX post to the gloom of Strut to take part in an exercise of mathematics. I have always been kind of a numbers guy so I figured no better way to show my love for numbers than a Strut Q dedicated to numbers, one and all!
But first, not everyone seems to share my love of all things mathematical.
One lap around perimeter of lower baseball fields and through the woods to the my favorite secret grassy area for COP (I like to compare this area to the secret old Indian cave where Dead Poets Society met):
- √625 SSHs (IC)
- √625 Squats (IC)
- √625 Walkers for Walker
- √625 Windmills (IC)
- √625 Smurfjacks (IC) (Shocking, I know!)
- √625 Flutter Kicks (IC)√625 Plank Jacks (IC)

Moleskin: Strut Brigade was undaunted by the cold and worked hard this morning. About 15 minutes in my hands were frozen, so I figured this is a good time to remember to start wearing my thicker gloves.
