Soggy Day at the Golden Corral

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
After a quick disclaimer, we moseyed around the shovel flag, picked up Olaf who was running a bit late, and made our way to the First National Bank to get shelter under their drive-through.
THE THANG:
COP (all in double count cadence): SSH x 25, windmill x 10, imperial walker x 20, merkin x 10/hold/mountain climber x 20/hold/RAH-LAH (legs if you got it)/6″/hold/6″/hold, hello dolly x 20, jumping lunge x 15.

Line up on one side of the drive-thru for Jacob’s ladder. Bearcrawl to the end of the drive-thru, do 1-5 burpees, and then bear crawl or crawl bear back to the start (5 trips up/back total)
Line up for an Indian Run around the Harris Teeter shopping center, and return to the bank drive-through for the Airborne Killer Hip Routine.

Mosey to the sidewall of Harris Teeter for extended wall sits. We did a 60s, 75s, and 90s sit (crowd pleaser). Mosey back to the bank drive through for 6 min of Mary:

Freddie Mercury x 20, Box Cutter x 15, Big Boy sit up x 20, LBC x 20, Superman Hold x 3 Mosey back to the shovel flag for some light stretching and COT.

MARY: See above
ANNOUNCEMENTS: CRI run this Saturday, Dec 14. The F3 Christmas party is Saturday, Dec 21, and spots are still available.

COT: Praise for Olaf’s daughter celebrating her 8th birthday today. She was not expected to live long following her birth and is truly a miracle child! Praise for Half Shell’s son who received the Let Me Run Boy award for exemplifying the principals of LMR on his team. Well done, young man!

The rain held off for most of the workout, but we stayed undercover at the bank for most of it. I found I had a lot of extra time today so threw in the wall sits on the flay. When I checked my weinke after the workout, I realized I forgot to do a 2nd Jacob’s ladder (crabwalk/dips) that was planned after the Indian Run. Oh well, we got it done this morning and the Pax put out a great effort as usual. Well done, men!

NMM
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.
