The Thang
- Thang 1 – PAX were asked how many Presidents we’ve had? I believe Snart answered correctly at 45. Thus, I planned the first workout to be 45 reps at 4 respective lighted cones. Coupons needed for this. When done, run back to the starting point and hold squat for the 6.

- Colt 45’s
- 45 LBCs
- 45 Squats
- Thang 2 – Crazy 8’s – Starting at the Café
- Together, reps in cadence. When done with the circuit, we’re taking a lap up the hill to parking lot and back down. Rinse and Repeat. Aiming for 3 Rounds Total (goal accomplished). Aye?

CoT Theme – Facing Adversity. Facing difficulty, or misfortune. We all go through this in our daily lives. How are you going to deal with it? We all have M’s and 2.0’s looking to us especially at these times. “It’s your reaction to adversity, not the adversity itself, that determines how your life’s story will develop”. Keep fighting. Don’t give up – Don’t Ever Give Up.

Question came up about how many presidents died in office, I think? Snart and Wet Wipe had a debate over Polk. Discussion continued at Coffeteria at Starbucks, although not sure if this debate was settled (Polk died from Cholera after leaving the office upon completion of his first term – a campaign promise of his was only one term, not more).
