Pillars of Pain

Lots of rain this week, but it didn’t prevent the three men from tackling a sandbag workout. We set our bags down for warm-ups (SSHs, IWs, WMs). Big lap around the field and back to the front of the school.
Sandbag exercises in cadence: overhead press, curl, merkins, calf raise. Lunge walk to last pillar. Squats, LBCs, bend over row.
Big lap again with bag.
With 10 minutes remaining, we attempted the pillars of pain: 1 man maker at each pillar adding 1 at the next pillar. We fell short of the goal, but provided some good ideas for <@UN3JKG18C> Q next week.

Pavement Spa

Eight men showed up this morning for the party. Quick disclaimer, few steps back, warm-ups (SSHs, IWs, WMs).
Next, we moseyed to the Pharma. Plank exercises, merkins, Peter Parker, Wide Arm Merkins, Parker Peter, 6 inch hold.
We then made our way to the old Hardees parking lot. I thought it was repaved, but it was rough as sandpaper. Crab walk from one end to the other, stopping at each parking stripe for 10 LBCs. Back the other way, bear crawl with merkins at every stop. We were now soaking wet with bruised hands.
Jog to Unity church for a Dora (CDDs, Squats, Flutters), run to bottom of the hill and back.
We made our last stop at the Footloose AO. Keeping our same partners, Partner 1 ran to the end of the lot and back while Partner 2 bear crawled. Flipflop upon return.

Chillin’ at The Fort

Chilly morning at The Fort, five men showed up for the fun. We began with a lap around the park, stopping at each swing for some warm-up exercises.
We moseyed to the top parking lot for some dips and arm circles. Back down to the amphitheater for a Dora session – Merkins, Squats, LBCs. Next, fast lap around the park, stops at each swing, merkins, squats, and LBCs – 10 each. Added bonus, first one to arrive at swing had to do 5 burpees.
We finished up at the amphitheater with two laps around with boulder over head and sprints up the hill near the power plant.

At the end we all did a cute jump through a prop which is part of the Christmas decorations :smiling_face_with_3_hearts:

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.
