12 comes of Christmas

Old bay had every intention on Qing however a call from the M created a change of plans due to a water leak at home.

Fortunately he gave me the winky to make it all happen. We did a little warmup and took a mosey to the back lot.

Cones were set out and the fun began. Center cone exercise was assigned by Tang 5 merkins.

The 12 cones of of Christmas are as follows
50 Freddie Mercurys
25 SSH
10 flying squirrels
25 box cutters
50 flutters
40 plank jacks
50 mtn climbers
10 Turkish getups
10 jump squats
25 hello dollys
30 CCDs
50 squats

That’s all she wrote. Solid workout. Thanks <@U08G28Z7E>

Park to Calhoun

WARMUP: it was cold. we’ll warm up on the run
THE THANG: cover distance stop for:
5 burpees
10 merkins
15 squats
added some lunges once
did some leg lifts after a muscle up twice
bear crawled the length of Calhoun St. Parking lot twice too
covered 3.11 miles–except for Beaker (his strava only said 2.98, which feels like a failure on my part. see NMM below)
MARY: flutters in cadence for 1:30 to hit 0600
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Xmas Party 12/12, Bethel service tonight

NMM:

You ever just 3000% took care of everything and crushed it by all outward metrics, but you didn’t do it with JOY in your heart? So your wife, kids, or close friend noticed and it wasn’t the reaction you expected…even though the mission was fully accomplished

It isn’t enough to just do a good job

Handle the mess your kids created with success, but did it in a way that made them feel scared rather than safe? Failure

Take care of business for your family, but made your wife feel like it was a burden rather than a mission? Failure

Maybe it’s just me… 😉 Good thing failure is a way point and not an end point. Let’s stay after it!

Warm up
Accumulator board (up to 6 exercises), run in between
Wall sits and burpees
Back to the board for exercise-run-exercise-run-etc

Thank you for the nod Peach Stand

Looks like we made it,
