It’s beginning to look at lot like Christmas



It’s beginning to look at lot like Christmas

Actually, no it’s not.  We tried to get into the Christmas spirit this morning a little bit but truth is we’re still trying to pay off Thanksgiving.  Ate and drank way too much last week.  Add to that a couple illnesses and this is the first time I’ve posted in almost a month.  Woof.

6 veteran pax showed up at OPE this morning to shake off the Thanksgiving rust and put a down payment on Christmas binging to come.

Pax were properly disclaimed (not really) and then we headed for the parking lot on the far side of the school.  Instructions were given to drop and do 5 burpees each time we saw a Christmas inflatable or Christmas lights.

Mosey to the church and find a partner and a lifting rock.  Partner 1 does called lifting exercise while Partner 2 runs to Goodwill bin and back.  But wait, the Goodwill bin is gone just in time for Christmas.  Bah Humbug.

  • Squats

Enough of that.  YHC gave instructions for our trip to the Foxworth Halfpipe so as not to wake up the neighbors.  At the halfpipe, grab your same partner and do 5 hand slap merkins in the middle of the halfpipe, then part ways.  One partner goes to top of one side and does 10 Heels to Heaven.  Other partner goes to other side to do 20 LBCs.  We did two rounds of this.  That hill on the closest to our normal Foxworth hill is terrible.

Mosey back to OPE through the woods.  It was dark.  Almost lost a couple pax… probably due to my poor eyesight in the dark.  Should’ve let them follow Jet Fuels highlighter yellow gloves.

Stop at the concession stand for 20 steps ups (10 each leg), 20 derkins and 20 dips.

Time is almost up so head back to the launch.

Done.

Great job by all pax today.  I warned that we would do some running to shed some Thanksgiving calories.  I think we accomplished that.  Jet Fuel was out front most of the day on the running part.  Everyone else was close behind.  Good to have MAD out there with us and to have Puddin Pop back to his pre-injury form.  Jet Fuel, Sleepy and Queen all crushed it like they do every week at Hydra.  Great job.  We ended up with 25 burpees I think.  Not too bad.  Obviously folks are slow to get their decorations up this early.  Just like me… it’s taken me and my wife 4 days to put 4 strands of Christmas lights on our tree.
