19 PAX got into the Christmas spirit as they made their way through the 12 Days of Christmas on the last “Friendly” Friday of 2018.
QIC: Princess Aurora
PAX: Ride Along, Cunning Linguist, Harvey Updyke, Hi-Viz, Studio 42, Porcelain, Bad Boy, Firefox, Crablegs, Brother-at-law, T-Cell, Pumpkin Spice, Shadow, Hot Route (FNG), Crawlspace, Preacherman, Vector
THE THANG:
PAX set off on a medium mosey around the baseball fields and MPCC over to the upper lot and circled up for a little warmup pain. All exercises in cadence.
- SSH x 12
- SnL Squats x 12
- Merkins x 12
- Mountain Climbers x 12
- LBAC w/ Good Mornings x 12
- Cherry Pickers x 12
- Air Press x 12
Thoroughly warm and likely wondering when YHC was going to stop being polite and start getting real, the theme of the day was introduced. The PAX would go through the 12 days of Christmas building on each day in the same manner as the song, and those days went a little something like this:
- A Lap Around the Parking Lot
- Jump Squats
- American Hammers
- Clerkins
- Burpees
- Monkey Humpers
- Flutter Kicks
- Imperial Squat Walkers
- Hop Kicks
- Jump Lunges
- Thrusters
- High Knees
This turned out to not be as friendly as some would expect, but YHC is convinced it was at least friendly in spirit if not physically. What’s better than a bunch of grown men butchering a classic Christmas carol with shouts of “Six Monkeys Humping” echoing through the parking lot?
Upon completion of one final AYG lap, PAX moseyed back to the lot to hold a Boat Pose for 60″ in honor of the wet ground.

MOLESKINE:
YHC got a little defensive when Hi-Viz and Bad Boy questioned his math, but there is speculation that perhaps it was either misspoken or misheard. Regardless, the point was ultimately made that Christmas would be Day 12 from this point in time. This was enough for YHC to build a workout around even if the true “Twelvetide” is Dec 25 – Jan 5. All is forgiven.
BULLHORN:
- Libeery on 12/18 at 7:30 – Fat Bottom Brewery. PAX will be discussing the F3 book Freed to Lead. Reading, while highly encouraged, is not required to join the fun.
- Christmas Day workouts will be OYO. Coordinate amongst yourselves should you wish to work off the cookies and milk.
- NYD Convergence to return to FRA aka The Hill. Likely time will be 0700 – 0800. Here’s hoping it’s not 7 degrees outside again.
PA out.
