It actually was gloomy this morning.  We did our thing anyway.

I have attempted to Q the workout just before Christmas at Gashouse each year and give out a book afterwards and this year was no different.  More on that later.

Good crowd at Gashouse.  8 for the bootcamp and 4 for Painlab.

Short warm up that included 12 SSH’s IC and 12 Imperial Walkers IC.

Time to split the groups….but wait…..It’s Hushpuppy pulling in.

The Thang

Mosey to the Grier Track for a Stroganoff version of the 12 days of Christmas.  Most of you should know how it goes now.  Here are the twelve exercises:

Day 1 – 1/2 lap mosey

Day 2 – 10 Bobby Hurley’s (for most of the group…..it’s possible that someone needed to modify this one)

Day 3 – 10 Merkins

Day 4 – 30 LBC’s

Day 5 – 5 Burpees

Day 6 – 30 Flutter Kicks

Day 7 – 15 Squats

Day 8 – 15 CDD’s

Day 9 – 15 Hillbillies

Day 10 – 15 Mountain Climbers

Day 11 – 20 SSH’s

Day 12 – 50 Morrocan Night Clubs

This took almost the entire 60 minutes.

Finish off with a short low-slow squat plus some Mary back at the Flag.

It was harder and I was reminded early on that the Q should not call exercises that he cannot complete himself.  Well said.

Lots of great mumblechatter this morning and we learned that most of the exercises are very similar….only different.

Great to see Hushpuppy out.

COT

Convergence on Saturday, Januray 1st, at Midoriyama at 7:00 am.

Lots of prayer requests unfortunately.

The Moleskin

I love reading, especially personal development books and inspirational stories.  Being the closest Sat to Christmas, I gave out an old classic by Viktor Frankl – Man’s Search for Meaning.  It’s one I first read 12 – 14 years ago and am rereading right now.  I would recommend it and I still have a few copies in my vehicle if you see me in the coming weeks.  I also pulled out some boxes of other books that I keep in my vehicle for the very reason to give them away.  No one left empty handed with something they had not read before.

As always, an honor to lead.

Until the next one.  Aye!
