The vsf was planted at 5:45 am in the Shelley Lake parking lot as the PAX of 4 each grabbed a concrete block from the spacious trunk of the sensible volvo sedan and set out into the chilled gloom for a not-so-sensible workout and to celebrate the birthday of some of the greats: Elvis, R Kelly and Money Hose.
The Thang:
Part I – Drop the blocks and warm it up
SSH x 34
Mountain Climbers x 34

Good Mornings x 34
Leave the blocks here, but mosey back to the trunk to grab a block for Wonk, who showed up a little late after arriving first at the wrong parking lot, alone, dressed in all black, looking around for his ‘buddies’, thus ensuring the women meeting there for their meetup will never leave the car solo again at that location. Thanks for taking the extra time today, Wonk, to serve the public through raising awareness.
Pass the block as we all continue our brisk mosey to the boat docks for the first stop on the escalator tour.
