INTRO:

We had 14 PAX come out to enjoy the unseasonably miserable cold this morning.   It was 32 degrees, but it was a cold 32 degrees.  We circled up, and Red Hat launched right into the Announcements.  “I locked my keys in the car”.  Ok.  Should we modify, and do a retrieval mission to grab his keys from his house?  Nah, we’ll just let Good Hands take care of him.

WARM-O-RAMA:

To get the blood flowing, we did a quick mosey around the lot.   Apparently the pace was just too slow for Dandy who raced to the front and was headed somewhere unknown before I had to stop him so we could circle up.

Windmills x10

Weed Pickers x10

Mosey to the field

THE THANG:

Started with Dora 123s.

100 Burpees

200 Groiners

300 Squats

Alternating with a partner who did backward run around the track.  

For the most part it went  well, except for those darn Groiners.  We couldn’t agree on how they should be counted.  I did a quick demo but things went awry and everyone counted as they saw fit.  That may be why some folks finished way ahead of others, at least that is my excuse for coming in dead last.  Also, good form went out the window and most PAX ended up doing Mountain Climbers by the end (#metoo).   I had the PAX do merkins while they waited on the 6.  I heard  complaints about the unlimited nature of those merkins from a certain PAX, but out of respect I won’t call Swisher out.  Being dead last, I didn’t have to do a single merkin which was nice for me.  Another nice touch was on the home stretch I heard Preacher cheer me on.  “Good Job Misty”  Except that’s not my name.   

We still had some time so I decided to try something I’d been thinking about.  Lunges (Indian run style) with the last man doing bear crawls to the front of the line.  We divided up into 3 lines and proceeded the length of the field.  At that point we had 3 minutes left so I said “We can go back”.  What I meant was turn around and repeat the indian run the other way, but it got translated as “Let’s go back and Mary”.   Probably for the best.  I went with it.

30ish or so Flutter Kicks and we’re done.

CIRCLE OF TRUST:

Praise for God’s presence during Cricket’s hardship regarding his mother’s passing.

Praise for Garfield’s son who turned out to be ok after a frightening ER visit.

Prayers for those who are suffering (as witnessed by Garfield at the hospital)

Naked-Man Moleskin:

All in all it went as well as I hoped.  Thankfully Garfield brought the coffee and a few of us stayed around, drank coffee, felt Grills’ legs and discussed warm weather wear.  Good times.
