Clear, Crisp 29

WARMUP:
Static warmups with good mornings, willie mays, and cherry pickers. Comfortable mosey around the school/field, followed by active warmups of hammy scoops, A-skips, b-skips, skips for height, and quad stretches.

THE THANG:
Set of 20 exercises, followed by lunges from sidewalk to sidewalk. I swear they lengthened the soccer field since my last Q. Completed three reps- kicked off with burpees, mountain climbers, and dips respectively.

Mosey back to the parking lot for Ring of Fire set to a short rendition of Truckin’ (5 mins).

Like Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders, there was a Legion of Mary.

Upcoming convergence, boxing day workout, New Years Q from @toothless, and Brewsday next week if I remember correctly

PAX: Focker, Young Pawn, Toothless, Michelin Man, Chariot, moneyshot, Oatmeal, Betty Ford, DrRupp, Subway, sooner, FeelTheBerns
FNGs: None
COUNT: 13
CONDITIONS:Warmer than expected. Lots of Red. We were in our Red era. Then the power of TSwift took over and we let her take us where she wished as we fired up the Red album.

WARMUP: 22 SSH, some GM and WMH, followed by some baby arm circles and squats.

THE THANG: Long mosey down Granny White, so much so that MM thought we were headed back to Lipscomb. Wrong. Headed to the Hill!

11’s with 2 exercises = 22 (fuzzy T Swift math) Burpees at the bottom, drop squats up top.

Mosey over to the pavilion where we worked out next two either a dead body or a man sleeping. We will never know, we had DID business to attend to. 25 dips, 20 inclines, 15 declines for 3 rounds.

MARY: No time!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Brewsday, Gobbler, check the Slack

COT: Grateful for Fockers vulnerability and sharing over some recent victories and growth. He’s a true HIM.

>From _The Return of the King_:
> “What do you fear, lady?” he asked. “A cage,” she said. “To stay behind bars, until use and old age accept them, and all chance of doing great deeds is gone beyond recall or desire.”

Remember that today is all we have in this life, and even that is not for granted. I’m glad you all came to get better this morning, but don’t let it stop there. Take the strength you build here and bring that back to your friends, families, communities, and workplaces. Make the most of the time we’re all blessed with in the ways that matter most.
