I was honored to lead this group of HIMs in York this rainy cool morning.   Again with poor weather the PAX arrived not complaining just wanting a morning sweat.  Redwood thanks for the opportunity.

The disclaimer was given with no FNGs so we started the Warm up.

SSH

Moroccan Night Clubs

R/L, L/R, Stretch each side and middle to get the hammies ready for a mosey

Merkins

We formed 2 lines for a lap around the church in a Reverse Merkin Indian Run

Arrived at the fire pit to start turning up the heat.  We talked about Hope and the Christmas Season not everyone is happy and Joyous.  They may be going through the anniversary of a love one or relative loss or maybe a stressful season of their life.  We all need to reach out or listen for the sign of sorrow or sadness.

A series of Irkins Derkins and Dips x 2

Now warmed up we made one more lap around the church and found the LIGHT.

The light is where the Block Party started.  Each PAX had a cinder block and we started.

3 exercises, 15 Triceps Overhead Extensions,  25 Standard Curls and 250Overhead Presses.  In between each we ran to the top of the hill and had 10 Merkins.  After the first round PT and I saw that York PAX carried their blocks to the top so we Rinsed and Repeated the York Style.  Nice touch!!!

We circled and did 10 Diamond Merkins using the block followed by LBCs and Block American Hammers.  These York guys are tough and want all 45 minutes of PAIN.

We jail broke to the COT to finish up with Praises and Prayers.

Upcoming Christmas Eve AO will be Olde Town only all other will be shut down for an EPIC Event.  Eastview Chruch will be serving meals for people within a 5 mile radius of their church on Christmas Morning.  Come out if you can help or can support.  See Chernobyl or Drifter for more info.

Sorry I cannot remember all of the prayer requests but Drifter asked for prayers for his Grandmother and another PAX had a relative just found out they had cancer.
