10 Days Until Christmas

10 Days Until Christmas

21 hardy Pax ventured into the chilly December gloom for a 1st F celebration.

After a Booyah-approved disclaimer, we moseyed to the church parking lot for COP to get the blood flowing.

COP: 15 SSH, 20 IW, 20 Low Slow Squats

Mosey to the school parking lot for the main event, a celebration of the fact Christmas is just ten days away.

THE THANG

1st day: One lap around parking lot

2nd day: 10 jump squats

3rd day: 10 derkins

4th day: 10 LBC

5th day: 10 merkins

6th day: 10 dollies

7th day: 10 dips

8th day: 10 mountain climbers

9th day: 10 flutter kicks

10th day: 10 burpees

Starting with the 1st day, the Pax worked their way up the Christmas tree by adding a new exercise after each lap around the parking lot. After carefully placing the tree topper on the 10th day, the Larry Birds made their way down the ladder, subtracting an exercise each time. Ye Olde Garmin checked in at precisely 2.0 miles at the conclusion of today’s workout.

MOLESKIN 

• YHC was originally scheduled to Q Peak 51 next week, but Dora requested a Q-swap on Sunday due to business travel. Little did YHC realize at the time, but switching weeks to December 15 presented the opportunity for a Christmas countdown workout. Being the numbers person that YHC is, 10 days with 10 reps was especially numerically satisfying. (OK, it’s really 9 days with 10 reps plus 1 lap, but then again 9+1=10). The symmetry of it all! And don’t forget the spreadsheets.
• This workout was a good you vs. you challenge. It also allowed the Pax to keep moving on a 36 degree morning.
• Hat tip to Smokey, who never takes a day, or even a rep, off. Smokey’s always flying around the AO and crushing any obstacle in his path, setting a great example for all to follow.
• Manliest Pax of the Day Award goes to The Count, for wearing a short-sleeve shirt and shorts, Kudos and huzzah Count, you da man.
• Thanks to Booyah and Sensei for giving me the opportunity to lead.
