Winter Solstice

The longest night of the year did not disappoint anyone this morning, there was no sun. The fog was the strongest I have ever encountered at a work out. People were still partying at the lakefront including us. Maybe not the best day to do too much running and exploring but we did regardless and did not get lost in the fog….

All but 2 arrived on time, the remaining 2 were escorted by triple shift to the fountain area for some warm ups:

25 Peter Parkers

20 Windmills

25 IW

31 SSH

20 Mountain Climbers

Then off for levee run in the fog to the circle bench area, accompanied by shouts and fowl language of the lakefront all night parties

Circle of Dips

5 dips per bench

Lunge walk to the next bench, counter clockwise

Paying reference to a clock and shortest day of the year, about to begin….

Then across the street to the Lakefront for say a suicide Route 66 Burpee exercise?

Start at light pole 0, run to light pole 1, then 1 burpee

Return to light pole 0 and go to lightpole 2 and do 2 corresponding burpees

Repeat to 10

These light poles seem further away than the ones where we park?

Pax made it to about 9 with Triple shift leading the way, and time ran out on us, among complaints

Stay at the Lakefront location for condensed Mary

30 LBCs

Hold plank for 1 minute

Back to Shovel flag for count, name a rama, announcements, intentions, COT.

Hope everyone has a great holiday and can take time off from normal everyday life. I am starting today.

Many thanks for the opportunity to lead.

See you tomorrow morning on the radio (90.7).
