Unseasonably warm this afternoon for a holiday week workout. 7 strong Pax out today to get better and Defib brought out his 2.1 Eddie to enjoy the show. Found out Eddie was nicknamed for Eddie Van Halen as he plays guitar.

Warmup

SSH x 15 IC, stretches Right over Left, Left over Right, Leg stretch in Plank position, Hillbillies x 10, a few Calf Raises, 5 burpees OYO for Slaw.
Pledge.

Walk through the horseshow pits to the Hidden Blocks.
Curls x 30, Chest Press x 30, Shrugs x 30, Curls x 30. Leave the blocks out. A while back, Stroganoff (as he is known to do) gave me a book entitled The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. I try to remind myself of these frequently as they are wonderful goals to work toward. 1st agreement; Be impeccable with your word.

Mosey to top parking lot and partner up for Dora 123.
100 Merkins, 200 Squats, 300 LBC’s, partner run across both lots and back. 2nd agreement; Don’t take anything personally.

Mosey to Dog Park hill where it was very dark by now.
Triple Nickel
Merkins at bottom, Plank Jacks at top, 5 times. 3rd agreement; Don’t make assumptions.

Back to the blocks for more. Curls x 10, Chest Press x 10, Shrugs x 10 , Curls x 10. 4th agreement; Always do your best. Return the blocks.

Back to flag.

Instead of resolutions, ask what disciplines will you do in 2022? The Four Agreements can be a great part of that.
1st agreement; Be impeccable with your word.
2nd agreement; Don’t take anything personally.
3rd agreement; Don’t make assumptions.
4th agreement; Always do your best.

*NMM Hard working group today in the warm gloom. Slaw took his shirt off as expected. Seuss was throwing that block around pretty good. Eddie was using his youth and energy to show us old guys how it is done. It was good to see the average age of Midoriyama drop for at least one workout. Gavel told about his boy’s Nerf guns and remote controlled cars and the fun they are having. I’m sure Tiger has some toys at his house too. Once again Sister Act is too scared to attend one of my Q’s. Maybe in 22.
