65 degrees? Are you serious? T-shirt and shorts one more time before the weather rolls through. Everyone was happy to enjoy this gorgeous weather. Yes, we know Russo will always wear shorts and a t-shirt. He’s our own Victor Freeze ( a batman character portrayed by the master thespian Arnold Schwarzenegger. The colder it gets, the happier he gets. Moby requested to lead a beatdown to help with his lower back, so it was time for some Tabata. 45 seconds on, 20 seconds off. 6 Exercise: freak nastys, squats, crunches, irkins, jane fondas, and box cutters. Rinse and repeat.
COT, Moby prayed us out. 1/21 Nightmare after Christmas with Moby. 1/27 Bushwhackers camping trip. Runcajunrun the month of February, sign up by 1/18.

Record-tieing 5 in shorts and tees – from Russo
As Jose noted, it was in the lower 60s this morning and breezy ahead of some potential rain. I figured Pelican was in to renew the Batman and Robin vibe of the pad, but who knew they would be joined in caped crusader crime fighting by Bird, Groupie, and Waterpik, each contributing their own special powers to tie the record attendance for the pad.
Warmup (all 10x – 20x)
– seal jacks
– Self love
– Arm circles
– Toe touches
– Butt kicks
– High knees
– HillbilliesThang
Mosey to the bridge, where at every block it was 10 merkins, 10 squats, 10 shoulder tap plankjacksAt the bridge:
One side – 10 American hammers, (brass) monkey humpers, lunges, or Apollo Ohnos
Mosey
Other side – 10 Peter Parker’s, hello Dollie’s, or star jumpsRinse and repeat, swapping mosey for side shuffle, high knees, and back pedal intermittently.
Back at the pad, COT, NOR, Announcements, and Prayer closed us out.
The same good mumblechatter throughout, where we discussed talking to your dentist while he’s working on your mouth, Stephen Hawking’s proclivities, beach vacations, and civil engineering.
Good times, gents. SYITG

Grant’s Tomb – from Akbar
45ish and wet as all get out, a slight modification was needed for this gloom. YHC can handle wet or cold, but not both. So instead of sloshing at the Shaft, we headed to Noah’s Ark for Grant’s Tomb. Ulysses S. Grant’s mug adorns our $50 bill, so we moseyed around doing 50 reps with moseys in between – 25 reps on one side, 25 reps on the other.
Warm Up: SSH, Grass Grabbers, Toe Touches, Mummy Kicks, Self-Love, Arm Circles, High Knees, Butt Kicks x 15IC

Flutter Kick, Mountain Climbers
Leg Raises, J Lo’s
Crunchy Frogs, Jane Fonda’sAt this point, Jose10k mentioned that YHC would never remember all of this, which is partially correct. Especially when the mumblechatter moved to math and quadrilateral mumbo jumbo.
We may have finished with Parker Peters and something else and moseyed back to the flag for 15 Merkins IC.
Count, Name, and Shooter prayed us out.
