Jenny Maraghy for the Win

A fine 14 gathered in the gloom for a 45 MOM beatdown. Here’s what transpired.

COP: All IC. Deadman Hang // Helicopters // DQs // Cherry Pickers // Imperial Walkers // Russian Soldiers // Monkey Humpers // Crabcakes // Freddy Mercuries // LBCs // Merkins // Inverted Crabcakes // Pickle Pounders. Mosey to corner of Commonwealth and Hanover.

Burpee Alley: Run the length of Hanover from Commonwealth to Shadwell (approximately .25 to .5 miles, roughly) and perform 3 burpees at every lamppost. Mosey across Grove to parking lot.

Wall to Wall: Partner up. Round 1: P1 runs to wall and performs 10 donkey kicks, P2 Balls to Wall. 3x. // Round 2: P1 runs to wall and performs 10 man-makers with coupons graciously left by Jenny Maraghy, P2 wall sit. 3x. // Round 3: P1 runs to wall and performs 10 2-count wall climbs, P2 Chicken Peckers, or balls to wall. 3x. Mosey east down Grove to Lock Lane.

Lock Lane: sprint to Lampost 1, Bernie Sanders to Lampost 2. Mosey to First Pres lot.

Triple Check: P1: WW2s // P2: American Hammers // P3: 50 2-count Mtn Climbers. Mosey back to the flag

NMS: Driving by that little walled parking lot every day, YHC has been scheming of how to design a routine around it. Did not anticipate the presence of coupons lying for some reason in the lot; we can only assume that Jenny Maraghy real estate team must also gather for beatdowns during their lunch break. The length of long run down Hanover was miscalculated by YHC but TYA was quick to correct. Appreciate you guys humoring the long field trip!

Yesterday was a dark day for our democracy. I was moved by this prayer of the senate chaplain Rev. Barry Black, prayed at 3:45am this morning after confirmation of the election results:

Lord of our lives and Sovereign of our beloved nation,
We deplore the desecration of the US capital building, the shedding of innocent blood, the loss of life, and the quagmire of disfunction that threaten our democracy.
These tragedies have reminded us that words matter,
And that the power of life and death is in the tongue.
We have been warned that eternal vigilance continues to be freedom’s price.
Lord, you have helped us remember that we need to see in each other a common humanity that reflects your image.
You have strengthened our resolve to protect and defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies, domestic as well as foreign.
Use us to bring healing and unity to our hurting and divided nation and world.
Thank you for what you have blessed our lawmakers to accomplishe in spite of threats to liberty.
Bless and keep us.
Drive far from us all wrong desires.
Inclined our hearts to do your will,
and guide our feet on the path of peace.
God, bless America, in your name, Amen.
