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

CONDITIONS: 52 degrees and saltless :no_entry_sign::salt:

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

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

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
