Warm Up:17 gathered for brisk 32 n they were ready 4 ‘my friends’ Q.. I had few things on my ‘winkie’, adjusted according to pax
The Workout: We ran @ 457 yards- few cars were coming to bus entrance for SSH, and 5 burpee oyo- enough warning- groups of 3, YHC had counted 15 but we had 2 more oops..  I was excited for hill the yhc had ran few times with yellow card and it was nice n steady 1.2 mile- we stopped at ‘off Disney ‘ property and bottom of the hill and knocked out 50 merkins aka (mucho Cheeto) and planked while waiting on the 6th-

start w/ 2 man Indian run and stopping every 463 meters for low slow/lbc- more merkins- jump squats/star jumps- passed a lonely runner and was asked 2 joined the brothers of gloom, but he could not handle the sauce we were cooking..

indian run failed since our Indian ‘motor boatin’ Got left but we did not know until we reached the beautiful manicured spa n Pool. Feel like Indian run is better accountability tool- pushes you- instead of just running-

jump squats while waited n called 11’s – squat on one side and Turkish get ups- again the parking lot was about 257 meters- saw bunch of accountability amongst the pax- proud of few new ones and believing and trusting F-3.

557 we realized we were missing ‘motorboatin’..  chips takes off since he was winded/ tired in order 2 find him and rest of us start our Indian run back to flag-  yhc follows the tennis star n Brazilian meat lover- while rest get back 2 make sure all pax were accounted for and emeril had called out burpees- thx

naked mole skin-  we push each other and yhc really enjoys how all the guys do not think they can but all of a sudden they do things just a tad bit more during workout-work/ family life.. we learn from our mistakes and share so others do not fail-

Warm Up: Banana Seat lead us around the tennis courts to the lower area by the concession stands.  Dauber took over and warmed up the PAX with the following exercises:  20 SSH, 10 Flower/Cotton pickers, 10 Windmills, 10 Imperial Walkers right into 10 Hillbillies; Left arm and Right arm stretches. It was a nice start to this sub 30 degree clear morning.


The Workout:  PAX of 16 (welcome friendly face Natty Ice) broke into two groups, odds began 10 left up/downs followed by 10 right up/downs on the wall while evens held BTTW on the concession stand wall for a 20 count cadence count; swapped positions and completed the previous exercise.  Rinse and Repeat.   PAX walked to the driveway lining up into two lines.  PAX performed Frankensteins, high knees, open doors, and Karaoke (R/L) to the parking lot.  Each PAX grabbed a medium-sized rock and circled up in the parking lot.  In honor of President George H. W. Bush passing last week, PAX performed a total of 41 reps (10, 10, 10, 11) of the following rock exercises:  Rut-Ros, Curls, Tricep Curls, Squats.  PAX moved one space to the right before executing next exercise.  Once completed, PAX got on their six, knocked out 15 rock presses, 15 skull crushers and 15 Homer to Marge passing the rock to the right again before each exercise.  PAX John Cusack back to the rock pile and met up on the tennis courts. Lots of mumble chatter as Q forgot his left and right and pulled a Lipsync with his rep counts).
Mary: 12 Days of Christmas (F3 Style):  Q passed out 12 index cards to 12 unsuspecting brothers.  Each index card had a number (1-12) and a corresponding exercise.  We missed R-22 for special 5th day.  In the spirit of The Twelve Days of Christmas, F3 gave to me….

1st Day: 1 chill cut plank (turned into a pickle pounder – per Double D)

2nd Day: 2 Plank Jacks

3rd Day:  3 Mountain Climbers

4th Day:  4 Wide Merkins

5th Day:  5 Burpees OYO (missed you R-22)

6th Day: 6 Box-cutters

8th Day: 8 Freddie Mercury 

9th Day:  9 Merkins

10th Day:  10 Squats

PAX and Q were spent.  Dauber asked Double D for a 10-count hold.  PAX knew they were in trouble when Double D went off count a few times.  (Must have been that new math)  It messed up the Q as he tried holding plank which looked more like a yoga move with his a$$ high in the air.  Recovered after a lengthy time.

Announcements:  CSAUP (Sat-Womble), U-Turn still on; Q-School in Jan; F3 Christmas Party (Sat); Mutiny on Mon will have a 2.0 as Q (first time in SW history).  Check out Yoga deal (one month = $29 Groupon at Burn?

Warm Up: Side Straddle Hops, Frankensteins, Right over left, Reverse, Burpees for the late ones

The Workout:  We decided to play it safe and stay on the well lit streets so we could see the ice.  Following Main St down to the carwash near townhall and continuing on to Womble.  Everyone was told to set the distance to OYO.  Some turned at the carwash, others at Hunt, and some folks took a spin around the park before heading back.  The Q (YHC) went back for the “six” from the carwash to make sure everyone knew the turning spots for 3 vs 5 miles.

There was a john stop attempted but there was a paper supply issue…

Mary: Nope
