Core group of HIM’s came out for a 19-degree beatdown.  No disclaimer, went straight to business.  Side-straddle hops to get the blood flowing, then moseyed down the street to the parking lot of the Presbyterian church for some classic BLIMPS – “rack’em-stack’em” style from one end of the parking lot to the other.
B = 5 Burpees
L = 10 Lunges single count
I = 15 Imperial walkers single count
M = 20 Merkins
P = 25 Plank jacks
S = 30 Squats

At the end of this, we were all nice and warm – even Tesla, who wore long sleeves for once!  Goose delivered a 10-count.  Before the cold had a chance to settle back in, I broke the unfortunate news that our BLIMPS were stacked in the wrong place, so we reversed everything and re-stacked while enjoying some mumblechatter about frozen Teslas (the car, not the ornery old fart) in Chicago and Cheesesteak’s “business trip” adventures out west.

Announcements:  Sign up for Pushing Rocks.

Prayers:  Struggling marriages and all those suffering; Gratitude for God’s gifts and blessings

After making jokes about those Teslas in Chicago that couldn’t function, my car wouldn’t start until I warmed up the key fob!  This morning was tough but we fought through it together, and I’m glad to be able to start out the day with these HIM’s.
