Too hot and too humid for December – for Christmas Eve. Pushing 75 degrees.
Today on a Thursday we moved our Friday workout…so that we could get one last one in before the holiday.
I need to figure out how to plant the shovel flag in concrete – because no one “meets” at the flag anymore. I finally got to meet Crab Legs, we got a surprise drop in from Side Effects and Rudy summit-ed Wolfpack Mountain for the first time. It was a nice treat to see Side Effects stretching as he waited for the PAX on my way in!
At 530am we rolled out for a holiday downPAINment on Wolfpack Mtn.
I decided to dismiss all of the warmup stuff and ran us right to the top of Wolfpack Mountain.
We did a quick starter up top and wondered if the lightening was heat lightening in December.
SSH x 25, Imp Walker x 26, LBC x 24, Good Mornings x 20 and Monkey Humpers x 15
After that – we did a stairway journey – one lap. (1.5)
Then we settled in for the 12 days of Christmas. Or in NOLA I guess it would be the 12 yats of Christmas. January 6th is technically the 12th day of Christmas so this is kind of backwards but whatever – I just wanted something seasonal.
1st day – burpees (1 x 12 = 12)
2nd day – two lunge jumps per leg (2 x 11 = 22 but really 4 x 11= 44)
3rd day – Squat jumps (3 x 10 = 30)
At this point we ran a lap up and down the stairwell making sure to take deep lunges on the way up (2.5) Right before we settled in for day 4 I was stung by a bee. i used to be allergic, know I know that as an adult I’m not allergic. Yeah!
4th day – Plank Jack push ups (4 x 9 = 36)
5th day – Burpees (5 x 8 = 40)
6th day – Merkins (6 x 7 = 42)
7th day – Jack knifes ( 7 x 6 = 42)
8th day – Mtn Climbers (8 x 5 = 40 both knees = 1 turn )
9th day – Dying Cockroaches (9 x 4 = 36 – both feet = 1 turn)
At this point we tried to survive our 3 and a half stairway lap. (3.5)
10th day – Hip Dips (5 each side, 10 x 3 = 30)
11th day – Russian Twist (11 x 2 = 22) Here Side Effects was asking for day 12 off since it is only Christmas Eve tonight! nah!…and for the end I really wanted to give everyone a break but I would have felt like a giant wuss if we didn’t finish with what I planned. so we did 12 burpees on day 12.
12th day – burpees. I was thinking mat jumps or ski jumps as a modify but I just pushed us to finish. That gives us 64 burpees today boys.
That was it – it was 6:18 at that point so we did a quick mosey back to the flag. (That makes 4 laps)
That either ties Hawg or we beat the record. I can’t remember.
COT: We prayed a prayer of Gratitude for all of our blessings. We did the ball of man. We all will strive to better men in every aspect of our lives but for the next two days we will be grateful and be present with our loved ones and friends.
Thanks for a fun Q – my last of 2015!
Tclaps to Side Effects for pushing me harder today up that stairwell
Prayers of safety (and fun!) for Douille and his gang as they go off to Paris
Prayers of safety for all of the PAX to have Safe Travels.
Prayers to our sick/hurting PAX to get well soon. Thinking of you Jingle Vader, Roots, Billboard.
Finally Rudy, Amnesty and I enjoyed some coffeeteria at PJS on Magazine. A coffeeteria that was inspired by Shorty who fartsacked on us!
Merry Christmas F3 NOLA!
