INTRO:

With the December Burpee Challenge underway as of this morning, it seemed fitting to Q a workout with…. you guessed it…. BURPEES!  Everyone’s favorite suckfest.  Especially in the cold gloomy rain this morning. 

WARM-O-RAMA:

Mosey to the edge of the parking lot next to the trail loop:

SSH – Windmill – Weed Pickers – Sun Gods
(Don’t get run-over by Bloodhound’s truck as he left the parking lot!)

THE THANG:

Start with a Burpee Mile:
Run to nearest 1/4 mile marker and do 15 Burpees.  Plank for the 6 before proceeding on.  
Continue around loop stopping at every 1/4 marker for 15 Burpees.  (Total of 75 burpees for those counting). 

Mosey to area around Flag Pole.  
Partner up.  Partner Carry across field to picnic tables where Boomtown is having all their fun.  
Do 10 Bropees.  (That’s 85 burpees for those counting at home.) 
Switch up for Partner Carry back across field for 15 dips on wall.  

All these burpess have YHC’s legs asking for some of the action.  Next up… Aiken Legs:
20 squats – 20 box jumps – 20 lunges – 20 jump lunges

Since today is the day of YHC’s surprise birthday party for the M, it seemed fitting to do some more 40’s.
Run large loop area around flag, at top of loop do 30 Merkins.  Back at start of loop do 10 Reverse Crunches.
Repeat with 20 Merkins and 20 Reverse Crunches
Repeat with 10 Merkins and 30 Reverse Crunches

Still time left over for 10 dips on the wall… run across flag pole area to other side of wall for 15 crunchy frogs on wall
Rinse and repeat.
Rinse and repeat for a 3rd set.  

Mosey around large loop around playground back to flag for Mary:
Flutter Kicks lead by YHC
Rest Stop called for J-Lo’s 
Gepetto called for more burpees to try and get the last 16 done for the day before going home.  The PAX got through 8 before time was called.  (That’s 93 burpees for those following at home…. only 8 left for the day.)  

CIRCLE OF TRUST:

Gepetto asked for prayers for his old Fire Chief who recently found he has bladder cancer.  He is 84 years old and kicking strong.  Prayers for strength and healing for a very honorable servant of his community.  (45+ years in fire service!)  

Chops asked for prayers for friend who lost his home.  Need a place to stay.  

YHC has the big surprise party this evening for my M’s birthday.  Nervous about pulling all this off, but still know my M will be loved and honored by the gesture and the family and friends who show up to love and encourage her.  

Naked-Man Moleskin:

During the Burpee Mile YHC noticed Chops working his way around the loop with great strength and fortitude.  YHC decided to hang back with him to keep him company as he worked his way through the challenge.  Much conversation was had.  YHC learned a lot about Chops and will vouch that the rumors are true.  Chops is an awesome man with a poignant story to tell.  YHC looks forward to getting to know this man more and hearing more of his story.  Keep up the good work Chops!  We are honored you have graced F3 Cherokee with your presence and are so glad to experience this with you.
