Today was about spending time in proximity to our brothers. We were in no rush to get where we were going, but we made it anyway.

This time of year seems to be rush, rush, rush. Work deadlines are looming. Just a few more shopping days left. Gotta get to both sets of in-laws. How many pounds did you say you would lose by yearend? Have to get it all done.

But Christmas is the season of anticipation – a time to savor the moments, not rush through them. Take time off of work. Play games with your kids. Watch the family Christmas movies. Listen to your relatives tell the same story you’ve heard 100 times. Drink the hot chocolate, eat the extra slice of pie, and post with your buddies. Let’s slow down, breathe in the joy, and let the season fill your heart.

WARMUP: Gathered before 0515 and no rain. 0515 hits and the rain begins. Why create an environment that makes things a little easier?

THE THANG: Ran to the oil change place that has the little wall in the back. Once we got to the wall, direction was given. 10-20-30 was the idea.
– 10 step ups, run around building
– 10 diamond derkins, run around building
– 20 step ups, run
– 20 regular derkins, run
– 30 step ups, run
– 30 wide arm derkins, run

Run through the smell gauntlet and all the way through to the apartments with the round about at the bottom of the hill. 10-20-30 again but no running.

Alternating between CDD and lunges, do 10 of each, then 20, then 30.

Last we did 7s at the bottom of the hill to the fire station entrance. NUR up the hill, regular run to the bottom. Bottom of hill was bomb jacks, at the Fire station was 4 count flutters.
