First, a special mention goes to Run Stopper for gracing us with his presence at Bagpipe! Come again, you’re always welcome!! So the theme of the day was a mixture of 3 different exercises (variations of merkins, squats, and Mary) – so for most of you don’t let the title fool you and get your minds out of the gutter!!! We started with a mosey over to the Stonehenge statues for a quick warmup and then jogged over to the parking deck by the movie theatre which hadn’t been invaded since the Haggis downpour about a month ago where Frehley’s (me) proceeded to strip off layers of clothes. Anyway, once on the garage we proceeded with the Treacherous Triage in the Garage…

SSH x 25; Imperial Walker x 25, Merkins x 30, Dips x 30 on the concrete benches
Mosey to parking gargage for combinations of various squats x 10, merkins x 15, and Mary x 20 followed by sprints to each end of the ramps (top and bottom) where the 3 exercises were repeated. 10 sets of 3 (30 total) exercises with sprints in between.

Mosey back to Vine restaurant and brought in 2014 with 20 merkins and a 14 count of 6 inches on the 20th rep.
On a serious note, thanks to all for a wonderful 2013. I’ve enjoyed getting to know so many great guys and looking forward to an even better 2014! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
