9 degrees at the start.  10 HIMs showed for a brisk beatdown the day before Christmas.

As a cliche for the day, YHC broke out the 12 Days of Christmas workout from Christmas Eve 2017 that went as follows:

Short warm-up with SSH’s, Imperial Walkers and Merkins.

Mosey to track at Grier Middle School.

Here are the 12 exercises in the 2022 version of Stroganoff’s 12 Days of Christmas:

Day 1 – 1/2 lap mosey; Day 2 – 10 Bobby Hurley’s; Day 3 – 10 Merkins; Day 4 – 20 LBC’s; Day 5 – 5 burpees; Day 6 – 30 Flutter Kicks; Day 7 – 20 Squats ; Day 8 – 20 CDD’s (maybe); Day 9 – 20 Hillbillies (maybe); Day 10 – 2- SSH’s (maybe); Day 11 – 30 Mountain Climbers (maybe); Day 12 – 50 Moroccan Nightclubs (for sure).  I know these are the exercises we did, I am just not 100% sure of the order of things.

A little time was left so we added one lap of the Wolfpack Grinder with 10 IC Squats – Half Lap – 30 Freddy Mercury’s – Half lap

Mosey back to the start.  Brisk workout over.

It was great to have that many show for a 9 degree workout.  Before F3, not only would I have never worked out in this type of weather, I wouldn’t even consider it.  It’s always outside.  Do hard things.

My tradition on the Saturday before Christmas is to give out copies of a new book plus any I have left over from previous years.  This years book was The Greatest Salesman in the World by Og Mandino.  This is an older book but one that is considered to be a classic personal development book.  Og has a large collection of similar books and titles.  I would recommend checking them out.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead.

Until the next one.  Aye!
