24 able bodied men enjoyed a brisk morning workout at WEP on 12/19.  Flat Tire started the PAX off with some familiar warm-up exercises with festive new holiday names. Pusher was a last minute replacement Q after a family medical emergency sidelined Sir Topham Hat (praying for your family brother), and he promptly led us on a parade of horrible through Fort Mill.  Here’s what we did:

The Thang:

Mosey around the jogging path to the other side of the park and COP in crispy, frost covered grass.  All exercises IC:

Reindeer Hops (SSH) x 25

Elf Jacks (squat jacks) x  20

Yule Log Jacks (plank jacks) x 20

Abominable Merkins (merkins) x 10

Santa’s Walker (imperial walkers) x 20

Squats with Calf Raises x 20

Mosey to the path and a 1/10th mile marker.  Path is a .6 mile loop.  Accumulating exercises at each marker:

1st marker:  5 merkins

2nd marker:  5 merkins + 10 squats

3rd marker:  5 merkins + 10 squats + 15 Mountain Climbers

4th marker:  5 merkins + 10 squats + 15 MC + 20 LBC

5th marker:  5 merkins + 10 squats + 15 MC + 20 LBC + 25 Monkey Humpers

6th marker:  5 merkins + 10 squats + 15 MC + 20 LBC + 25 MH + 30 SSH

Hand the whistle over to Pusher.  He informed the PAX that the men of F3 Summerville marched in their cities Christmas Parade. It just so happens that the Fort Mill parade route went right by our AO so, after grabbing some chalk (wait, what?) Pusher started our own parade.

1st stop on the parade at the Springs Building parking lot.  1 minute to do as many burpees as you can.  Write your number in chalk.

2nd stop in the front lot of UC Synergetic.  1 minute of merkins.  Write your number

3rd stop Main street next to Hobo’s.  1 minute of jump squats.  Write your number.

4th stop St. John’s Methodist.  Jumping lunges.  Number

Final stop at Unity Presbyterian.  Plank until the 6.  Continued with that theme as Pusher led the group through plank-o-rama.  Recover while Pusher challenged the group to recognize your accomplishments of 2015 while striving to do better and greater things in the coming year.  To get a jump start, retrace the parade route and do ONE MORE than your previous effort at the pain stations.  Santini eloquently added: “take that you over-achievers!

Somehow the PAX made it back right on time for COT.

Prayer Requests:

CTH’s mom, many PAX down with injuries, job needs, travel grace.

It’s an honor to serve with you brothers!
