Tha Thang:
Start with half a bleacher lap … The young 2.0s with their 1.0s on the visitor bleachers, older 2.0s and PAX without 2.0s along the home bleachers. Meet at the far end zone.
From the goal line, bear crawl 5 yards, at each 5 yards line add 2 Merkins for the 1.0s and 1 Merkin for the 2.0s. Go for 50 yards. This was supposed to be increase Merkins to the 25 and then come back down from the 25-50 … But YHC forgot to mention about the decrease. My bad.
Naturally, the 2.0s were all to midfield first.
Circle up for some ring of fire.
Round 1: Hold Al Gore, starting with Pergo, each pax does a jump Squat one at a time. After the first pass, increase to 2 jump squats. Then to 3 jump squats each.
Round 2: Hold plank, start with 3 Merkins at Pergo. On 2nd pass, drop to 2 Merkins. On 3rd pass, all smallish 2.0s had to go sit on their dad's backs for the whole plank and 1 Merkin each.
Game Time: Fire and Ice
A kids variant on freeze tag. Whoever has the Ice (represented by a blue pool noodle) runs around to tag players. If a player is frozen, they have to hold Al Gore until someone tosses them Fire to thaw them out (represented by a tennis ball). Thawed player must do 3 burpees before rejoining the game. If Fire is dropped when tossed between players, it extinguishes and can't be used the rest of the round to thaw someone. 5 minute rounds, goal is for the taggers to freeze everyone.
Round 2: Modified to do 3 burpees when frozen and 3 burpees when thawed. Also added 2 more frozen noodles.
Round 3: Modified that fire could not be tossed to another frozen player until thawed burpees are completed.
Sweet N Low still has wheels and lateral agility to avoid those 2.0 taggers!
Finish with Mary …
American Hammers from The OG
Heels to Heaven from The Colosseum
Flutter Kicks from the Foundry

Count, Names, Pledge, Prayer
Today would normally be a Fun Run Day. It was an honor to lead this group including the 2.0s for a fun day off from work and school. YHC is definitely in favor of this as the standard Fun Run going forward!
Name several 2.0 FNGs and downrange FNGs from NoLa who have evacuated to Klump's house. Their FNG names reflect their home City!
Breakfast at Henry's afterwards.
