Episode 135: Vern’s Tiny Tots Takeover, Part Deux! 🧸🎉

Date: May 22, 2025
PAX: 16 (including 5 spirited 2.0s!)
Theme: Kid-Powered Chaos with a Side of Weird Al & PSY 🎶

The morning dawned with the kind of energy only a gaggle of 2.0s can bring—16 PAX strong, including 5 pint-sized powerhouses who turned our workout into a playground of pain! 🦁 With Weird Al’s lyrical genius and PSY’s “Gangnam Style” blaring, we embraced the kid-fueled chaos and got to work. Here’s how we rolled: 🚀

The Thang: Vern’s Tiny Tots Takeover 🍼

We kicked off with a prayer for safety 🙏, because with 2.0s in the mix, you never know when a rogue Nerf dart might fly. Then, we launched into the madness:

• Warm-Up: ¾-mile run to get the tiny tots and big PAX moving. 🏃‍♂️
• Main Event: A circuit so fun, even the kids didn’t complain (much):
  • 10 Pull-Ups (channeling Spider-Man vibes 🕷️)
  • Run 75 yards (like chasing an ice cream truck 🍦)
  • 15 Imperial Step-Ups (each leg, because balance is key when dodging toys 🧸)
  • Run 75 yards (still chasing that truck 🚚)
  • 20 Mericans (push-ups for the superhero landing 💪)
  • Run 75 yards (because kids never stop running 🏃‍♀️)
  • 25 Dips (pretending to dunk cookies in milk 🥛)
  • Run 75 yards (yep, still running! 🏃)
  • 30 LBCs (crunching like we’re munching Cheerios 🥣)
  • Run 75 yards (because why not? 🚀)
  • 35 Squats (like sitting in tiny kindergarten chairs 🪑)
  • Run 75 yards (we’re basically Olympians now 🥇)
• Rinse & Repeat: We looped this circuit until the 2.0s started singing “Yankovic, take us home!” 🎤
• Finisher: Another ¾-mile run to cool down (or just to tire out the kids 🥳).

Mary: Kid-Friendly Core Blast 🌟

• 20 J-Los (shaking it like we’re in a dance-off 💃)
• 15 Freddy Mercurys (bicycling to the beat of “Bohemian Rhapsody” 🚴‍♂️)

COT (Circle of Trust):

We wrapped with a Ball of Man, giving thanks for the energy, the laughs, and the fact that no one got lost in the 75-yard sprints. 🙌 The 2.0s brought the noise, Weird Al and PSY brought the vibes, and 16 PAX brought the heart. 💖

No Moleskin—because the kids said it all with their high-fives and giggles! 😄

Announcements: Keep bringing the 2.0s and be on the lookout for F3 Dads in June; 2.0s are the real MVPs! 🏆
