Date: 2026-10-28
AO: The Patriot
Q: Big Short ,
PAX: Primanti, Piano Man, Ice Tea, Craigs List, Big Short, Shake ‘n’ Bake, Hops, Malpractice FNGs: None
COUNT: 8
WARMUP: The normal stuff, including a few rounds of Elwoods. (Ice Tea: “This is running in place,”) (Flux: don’t listen to Ice Tea).

THE THANG: Four thangs, none of which involved running.

First thang: PAX moved down the field with coupons to the opposite goal line and back, stopping every five yards for exercises. – 5 yard line: 4 moving mercans
– 10 yard line: 5 jump squats
– 15 yard line: 7 coupon curls
– 20 yard line: 5 toe taps in cadence
– Repeat this sequence for 200 yards in total

Second thang: move to the benches for “4 minutes of Hops” done by performing these exercises continually for four minutes: – 20 dips
– 5 coupon jump overs
– 5 toy soldiers in cadence

Third thang: move to the center circle for the much loved CableGuy classic of 50 shoulder taps and 50 mountain climbers, in groups of 10, all done in cadence.

Fourth thang: what else but the equally loved bogey classic “batwings”, done by walking clockwise around the center circle, with seal claps, overhead claps and arm circles (forward and in reverse).

MARY: The normal stuff, including 10 of the Wedding Singer hip plank thing, but done in a humane manner.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Overnight Old Rag hike this weekend. Grunt coming up. See announcements for details.

COT: The Q shared a story about second chances.
