Tha Thang
Started with a little Uno… everyone played three cards in rotation and did the number of reps on that card:
RED – Squats
BLUE – Mercans
YELLOW – Big Boy Situps
GREEN – Plank jacks
Reverses and Skips: 10 of the exercises of that color
Draw Twos: 20 of the exercises of that color
WILD – 5 Burpees
DRAW +4 – Run, short parking lot loop
Then, a mosey to the basketball court for some Field of Dreams:
In teams of twos and threes, the PAX took a base and completed AMRAP exercises there until relieved. Once the team at Home completed 10 burpees, all the runners would advance.
Note: to level out our “aggregate” average, Wally World upped his burpees to 15.
When the last team completed their burpees, we ran a loop around the tennis courts.

• 1st round: LBC’s
• 2nd round: Step back lunges, with twist

Once four rounds of F.O.D. were completed, it wasn’t enough. The Pax demanded, “ONE MORE MUCK! ONE MORE ROUND!” So, we got one more round in. With a lump in his throat, the Q quietly brushed back a tear of admiration for these hard charging warriors.
Back to the flag for about three minutes of Mary:
• Box Cutters, 10, in cadence
• LBC’s
“People will come Ray. The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it’s a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh… people will come Ray. People will most definitely come.”
