It was a nice cool, somewhat misty, Wednesday morning. Got out of my car and it looked like is was going to be me and three other PAX with a couple of minutes to go before we started. And then all of the sudden there came a caravan of like ten cars squealing into parking spaces. So, here’s the thang:
Warm up: Mosey up to the turn-about for a light jog, some side steps, a little high knees, a few butt-kicks, and a solid karaoke. Then we headed down to the field for a bit more. There were some side-straddle-hops, imperial walkers, merkins, and mountain climbers. Then it was to the endzone to begin the “thang”
The Thang: With the holiday season fast approaching, I figured it would be the perfect opportunity to implement a little 12 Days of Christmas!

To finish the day, we ran 1 1/2 laps with jogging the bends and sprinting the straights. Then we jogged up to the access road and had ourselves a good ol’ fashion jail brake to the gate.
And that concluded our “12 Days of Christmas” 2015 edition!
