Yesterday I checked the Q sheet for open slots and came across an opening at Detention for today (and Tomahawk on Thursday). So I figured I’d sign up and make a trip over to visit the Detainees. We had 4 PAX for a 3 mile SL and made it through the very slight cold drizzle okay. Shoes got wet but everything else survived. The workout was a rinse-and-repeat routine I’ve been taking around the AOs. It worked out great today since this kept us in one spot, under the breezeway, off the wet ground. 7 PAX came together today to get their body and minds better.
1 minute warning, no FNGs, disclaimer, prayer
Mosey ever so slightly (I promised no cardio) to warmup with…

Move to the front of the school’s breezeway , line up, instructions on how “beers on the wall” is played, turn on some music (WOMG-FM), and get started. Basically we did a round of beers on the wall and two sets of Mary (most IC, some OYO), rinse and repeat until finished.
- 10 bottles of beer: The PAX line up side-by-side, plank, relay merkin 10 pieces of PVC down the line where you grab a piece of pvc with your right hand, merkin, roll it to you left hand, merkin, pass it to the guy on the left, get another from your right. Rinse and repeat until all pieces were passed down. Set one piece off to the side.

Moleskin:
- Good getting over to Detention today. I believe this was my second time. Glad to hear some PAX remembered the PVC pipes from the first visit.
- WOMG-FM may not have the best workout songs, but it’s a pretty good station to listen to. Classic rock-n-roll.
- Tclaps to Bar Crawl. Although we had a lot of merkins today, he was able to find alternate exercises to get his reps in.
Thought of the Day:
- With the lottery winner coming forward yesterday (no it was not me) and pocketing $877M, you can’t help to think what you would do with all that money. While it would be nice to not have to worry about money ever again, we need to remind ourselves that money does not equate to wealth and happiness. Wealth is not about what you have – it is about what you give. And happiness is whatever makes you individually satisfied. Many poor people die happy and content, while many rich people die alone and wishing they had more – more of the things their money could never buy. Enjoy what you have everyday.
