WHERE: The Lions Den

THE PAX: Hartford, Odd Job, Dizzy, Fleetwood, Old 96’r, Chops

Total # of PAX: 6

Number of FNGs: -1

QIC: Chops

INTRO:

Who says it’s 50 in a preblast… Fleetwood was trying to draw them in using that reverse psychology, but only the c committed showed… we embraced 25 and dead calm over the Everest like winds we usually get on the bluffs of the Lions Den.

WARM-O-RAMA:

Mozy down to the lower plain of Lions Den for some cadence SSH, Weedpickers, Windmills, Michael Phelps, Imperial Walkers, and Son Gods. Chilly lips caused some mumbled words, but the PAX helped the QIC with clarity.

THE THANG:

Mozy over the stack of coupons Fleetwood has managed to camouflage as a district maintenance work pile for months now… sneaky rascal. Each PAX took a little buddy, and we collectively walked, lunged, and double timed to a untamed grassy hill. On the way we scull crushed, curled, switched shoulders, and otherwise showed the coupons love. 11s up and down the grassy hill with coupon in town alternating Mike Tyson, and Burpees at the bottom, with lbcs, and big boys at the top. Mix in some extra reps, squats, curb toe raises, etc along the way and the PAX body heat overcame the 25 degree state of affairs. Finished at the top of the hill and mozy’d the coupons back to their resting place with a little TLC on stacking (to keep them incognito). Then light pole to light pole mozy, sprint, lunge, back down the drive and up the grassy hill once last time to the flag. Finished with some Mary w/ Carolina Hartford, flutters, j lo’s, dry docks, and we finish up with conclusion that loving the coupons is rough on the whimpy gloves.

CIRCLE OF TRUST:

Announcements of work being done by Fleetwood & Old96’r on Third F gig for Lions Den. Prayers for those in need this holiday season. Suggestion to look on Slack for other activities in area including invitation for F3 brothers to attend a church function and get the word out about what we do.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

After coming back from 29 men on Wed at Kodiak who were using Sandbabies I knew the Lions Den coupons were the ticket to our morning work. My brothers always help me keep rep count, and clarify muddled words when I loose my mind thinking about the finish. Confident I can count on them every time. Odd Job wore shorts so he’s a confirmed Connecticut mad man for winter, outdoor fitness attire. Hills are a slow man’s friendly terrain. It was just an awesome morning of cold stillness mixed with good fitness and astronomical observations.  An amazing way to start the 6th of Dec!
