I enjoyed leading this morning. It was the first time a long time. Thanks to all for making me feel accountable to this group and to myself to swing those legs out of bed every morning of a workout.

Eleven warriors posted to SOT to get hump day off to a good start. 4 runners and 7 boot campers were present. YHC was a little foggy as he arose at 1am only looking at the :00 on clock, readied for workout and preceded to car. At that point I looked at my watch and thought it was upside down. No it was 1:10. Luckily YHC arose again at 5am to take on SOT. According to the bus driver here is what went down.

COP- 25 SSH’s, 10 each: DQ’s, cherry pickers, Dead man hang, Helicopter, Jazzercise, arm circles.

The thang:

Triple check 1: Runner across front bus loop, Merkins, Flutter kicks.

11’s across back of school: Carolina Drydocks, Squats,

Triple check 2: Runner top of hill to bottom touch the building, hand release merkins, LBC’s.

Triple check 3: Runner lap around track, and 2 exercises I cannot recall. Only completed 1 round each.

Run to top of hill. AG 1 minute, sprint to flag.

Solid numbers at SOT, four to run, 9 to gun, all in it to win it. The AO was warm and well lit, the black ice was only briefly encountered, and it was flurries, not Cooper hair in your eyes and mouth. Here’s what the bootcampers enjoyed:

NMS: Doesn’t matter how old you are, F3 is hard, and if you want to improve over time, you’re gonna have to dig deep. YHC noted some incredible effort today from the PAX to push through the pain and encourage one another. That’s what this is all about. SYITG, YHC, DTH

Cop

Runners off for 5.5. Start of the morning on time or with some side straddle hops, Merkins and some fancy Jazzercise stretching in front of the work van. The work van worker was not impressed and left. We tried a short karate session.

THANG

We started with a triple check followed by another triple with a runner combination of World War II‘s, Americans, dry docks, squats in LBCs. YHC was successful in confusing the pax with a mixed up set of directions. One would think yhc understood how a triple check worked by now . Then we found every door at the middle school and did an appropriate number of exercises for each numbered door. Exercises alternated from upper body to abs to legs. We did some sprints at the end drowned off the last few minutes and make sure the pax got their moneys worth.
it’s a privilege and a pleasure to lead. Prayers for honeymoons dad, our nation and our friends. February 1 at kindred Spirit celebrate the end of dry January. Look to slack for galactocemia 5k from Nancy.

Thang2: the equalizer mile16x100m for a total of a mile of sprinting. equalization was accomplished by slower runners starting while faster runners did 1-3 burpies and tried to catch the others. First across the line started a 20 count. adjustments were made so that we all finished around the same time.

Thang3: four corners up the bleacher stairs, across the parking lot, down the other staircase and down the back straight away. round 1 hindu push ups, plank jacks, crunchy frogs, copper head squats. round 2 some other stuff….

Thanks for letting me lead you guys today. an honor as always.

8 studs posted for a chilly 70 degree morning. Boberry had agreed to lead a group of runners as YHC would lead the boot camp. The clock struck 530 and off we went. According to Lotso strapped to the front of the garbage truck here is what went down:

YHC took us out. Thanks for the opportunity to lead today. PAX remarked during the 4 corners did they sign up for the running workout. Have no fear Nancy will not run the PAX too much.

YHC is honored to be around the six men who came out today to put in the work. If they were looking for running, today was not the day.

Here is how it went down. Give or take a few details.

COP, Everyone involved today calling out exercises. YHC created order and off we went…………not far.

Parking lot tracers (I guess) PAX member calls out exercise and way to get to other side. Number of each on pavement. On to doors. Same order different numbers and off we went. Got a bit mixed up on order and a bit of controvversy on policy for double doors. Back to flag for a bit of mary.

Sorry Honeymoon, but can’t remember all called out exercises, but you knew that.

OC took us out.

Ok – so the video is just a representation of when we all got along (Kinda) as a society. For those who have no idea what We Are The World was………well you missed out. Enjoy!

This is year 3 of YHCs advent calendar workout at SOT and the jingle balls are always a nice surprise at door 25. Mumblechatter was pretty heavy today…but seemed heaviest during the jingle balls. YHC admits, 25 of those suck.

Despite all the craziness going on in the world right now, take a moment to find peace during what I still believe is a magical time of year. So grateful for this PAX…you all are part of the reason for YHCs sanity. As always, thanks to the PAX for indulging YHC this morning…it’s an honor to lead.
