Editors note: The working title for this blog was “Crossterfuck” but I assumed it might get flagged by wordpress so I figured I would just make it the 10th word in the blog to be safe.
After Casey regaled us with his “Inception” style bounce, it was off we went as we Kris Krossed (sic) all over the War Memorial and surrounding sidewalks. Too long to try to explain on the blog, but basic gist: Two lines going up and over in opposite directions, lunge across the south end of the war memorial while high-fiving those going the opposite direction, then back to the north side where runners would take the sidewalks to the east or west doors. Then switch sides. Exercises were push-ups and crunches with a burpee to start and finish each one. If this doesn’t make sense to you, good…you should have been there.
Notes:
- Definitely a warm and humid one this morning, a lot of sweat pouring off our bodies like the music Bob Seger plays.
- 5:28am group totally redeeming themselves with a very strong showing after a “not-so-very-strong” showing of like 7 people last week. Looks like that FOMO really set in, or the Patriotism hangover ran its course. Either way, welcome back.
- Keeping with the “crossing” theme, as the Crossroads of America, we always love when traverballers pass through. Today we welcomed a couple of them from Boston as well as some from San Diego. Also enjoyable is when one shows up with about 6 minutes to go in the workout but, hey…he still #justshowedup and got that tag!! Safe travels guys, hope we all cross paths again very soon (see what I did there?).
- Spotify pro-tip: When using the automatically generated “Daily Mix” playlists, remember to look beyond the first 6 or 7 songs. Apparently starting with some good, upbeat, workout type jams doesn’t mean the entire playlist is going to be like that and you’ll find yourself lunging to Carly Rae Jepsen’s cover of “Part of Your World”.
Going’s on:
This Friday we will be working out in Broad Ripple!! 6am start time and we will meet in the parking lot in front of Blue Mile. We have had a few requests to bring a Friday workout a little farther north for those who make the drive every week (sometimes twice), so here you go. We hope to pop some of these north(er) workouts every now and then on a Friday. If you live downtown and are thinking of skipping it because now you have to drive? Don’t. You have lived high on the hog long enough with the workouts in your backyard, now it’s time to drive the 11 minutes to a new spot for once.
(X gonna give it to ya!!)
Great job today everybody!! That was a beast of a workout! See you Friday!!

Y’all are SICK. But fun!!!
