Merry Christmas from the family

AO: atlantis
Q: sooner , Oatmeal
PAX: Oatmeal, Toothless, Pole Dancer, Siri, Subway, SalPal
FNGs: None
COUNT: 7
Active warm-up

Mozy over to pizza hut

Santa appears out of the gloom… he looks a lot like oatmeal

Christmas Night
Santa/Oatmeal pulls a gift out of the bag and the PAX has to deliver; The pax are reindeer, led by rudolph who have to deliver gifts. Each round, Santa/Oatmeal picks off a pax from the reindeer who does an exercise while the rest of the pax delivers to playground locations specified on the card; santa’s crew of injured reindeer grows during each round of present delivery

Gift delivery travel: Native Reindeer Run around the water tower to “Whoville” aka the playground

Penalty for forgetting rudolph

Christmas Morning
Open each gift to find two unique exercises (25 each). One is naughty and one is nice. Flip a disc to determine exercise. Gating price to either be nice or get forgiveness for being naughty is Christmas/Oatmeal trivia.

Bag 1: ice skaters / Mountain jumpers; each side is half
Bag 2: elven merkins / eleven flutters aka hand release merkins with a star Superman or reverse flutters (low plank + flutter kicks); 4 ct
Bag 3: Frosty jumps / walks; low squat duck walk or broad jump; 1 is 1
Bag 4: Twinkling Star of Bethlaham or manger madness aka side straddle hops 4 CT or star jumps but with 180 rotation); 1 is 1
Bag 5: Ornamentation or Tree toppers aka plank ups or one-legged alternating box jump reaching for the tree top on the jump; each side is half
Bag 6: sleigh rides or Jingle bell rock aka Supermans or happy crunch frogs but with arms elevated verticaly instead of horizontally; 1 is 1
Bag 7: Christmas mornings aka 8 CT body builders; 1 is 1… We didn’t do this one

Santa had a loose interpretation of the rules. We did exercise for the record.

COT: healing, comfort and guidance

HANDS DOWN BEST COFFETETERIA OF THE YEAR, NO ONE IS CLOSE, ITS NOT A COMPETITION, POLE DANCER/TOOTHLESS COMBO WON. EASILY. THEY’RE OFFICIALLY ON THE NICE LIST.

MOLESKINE:
It was a pleasure getting some 1:1 workout time with Pole Dancer, made him happy with a special Irish Rovers Christmas tune you’ll have to check out the playlist to witness. Also discovered some new wind tunnels at dear old atlantis that I’m sure we’ll enjoy for the rest of the season. The coffee by the way was excellent! Definitely Toothless approved!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
– Brewsday continues to be a great time!
– Keep your eyes out for a NYD convergence
– Freed to lead! Do merry things for and with the PAX this season!

COT:
I stand by my statement in the preblast – zero regrets for getting out this AM despite the cold. The day is already won! Good reminder that hard or unpleasant things can also be some of the most rewarding, and that progress is made one choice at a time.

No shame for those who weren’t able to make it, but I encourage the PAX to keep getting out even as the chilly weather makes the fart sack that much more appealing!

As always, it was an honor to lead! Thanks to Pole Dancer for the Q request and for his company at our AO under the sea.

SYITG next time!

MOLESKINE:

Didn’t tweak much from the debut at atlantis, and it still slapped. Once again the Burpee Thriller was a crowd favorite that helped jump start the mumblechatter. Pole Dancer had the distinct pleasure of pulling 3 of 4 Aces from what may or may not have been a stacked deck :face_with_peeking_eye:, the last of his being the Ace of Hearts which led to a new fan fav: the Cotton Eye Joe!! Frankly this group impressed with their Hopping Hillbilly skills, and they were rewarded with several high digit high knees to follow :smiling_imp: Coffeeteeria was a delight after this sneaky burner.

Figure I’ll squeeze this in before the end of the month so we all get our PAXminer stats.

Ran several laps of the field and then did a “you vs. you” round where each lap must be faster or face a penalty. Closed with some Sally Up and Sally Down squats (and merkins!) and 5 minutes of mary. Credit to Bad Boy Pole Dancer for inspiration.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6f

Garage Jam Band

AO: atlantis
Q: Schnauzer
PAX: Pole Dancer, Wolfpack, Toothless, Strutter, CubCadet, Puzzlah, Judge Judy
FNGs: None
COUNT: 8
CONDITIONS: 52 degrees and saltless :no_entry_sign::salt:

WARMUP:
Parking lot warm up to wait for a few stragglers

THE THANG:
Mosey to a wall of garages. Pick a garage to workout in. The wrong garages were chosen twice and burpee penalties were inflicted. Once we found the correct garage we started our jam session:
Work 40 seconds/Rest 20 seconds. 32 rounds (we stopped after 30 rounds for times sake). 4 rounds for each session
Jam Session 1: Shuttle run
Jam Session 2: Med ball slams
Jam Session 3: Bike
Jam Session 4: Ab mat sit ups
Jam Session 5: Row
Jam Session 6: Goblet squats
Jam Session 7: Sand bag cleans
Jam Session 8: Dumbbell bench press
Indian run (not PC) back to COT

MOLESKINE:
The PAX formed F3’s first garage jam band. SalPal auditioned but didn’t make the cut. It actually worked out better because only 8 sessions were planned. The tunes were great but the fellowship was better. Enjoyed having Jude Judy from F3 St. Louis.

Photo cred to Puzzlah

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Chili cook off coming soon – see Wolfpack’s post above

COT:
Prayers for everyone affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton
