COUNT: 22
WARMUP: Charmin had us doing all kinds of things that unnerved us before even getting to The Thang.
THE THANG: Charmin took us to three different pavilions where we were crushed with his mesmerizing and crushing exercises. We took CMU size boulders to the first pavilion and he made us raise and swing those things around until are arms could no longer take it.
High-Heels took over after the third pavilion of exercises by Charmin. High-Heels took us to the Caribbean parking lot where we ran from 6 o’clock counter clockwise to 9 o’clock stopping at 3, 12 and 9 o’clock to do various exercises. We did this about a million times until we were barely breathing. Lilydipper took us from there back to the 1st Pavilion to grab those doggone boulders that Charmin wore us out with. We had to go to the AO parking lot and team up for Doras. Partners did exercises with the dagnab boulders while the other ran around the parking lot, a heaving and a bursting with air until partners traded places. We weren’t done after we put the boulders back. Lily made us run various sprints (Bernie, High Knees, etc.) until we had stumble to the pavilion for the BOM.
MARY: We were so beat down what we didn’t have the time nor ability to do the Mary.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Convergence at Big Ball on January 20!!
COT: Message: Plunging Into The New Year
Why do we this F3 Thing for another doggone year
1. It is completely stupid
2. It involves community.
3. It is a line of demarcation.
4. It is acceptance of pain.
5. It is release.
6. It is invigoration.
7. It is celebration.
Also, prayers for F6 on vocational search, prayers for those heading back to school or college, and praise for the health of Matlock’s nephew, John.

Tag Team Q

AO: the-farm
Q: Choir Boy , Aladdin
PAX: Aladdin, Choir Boy
FNGs: None
COUNT: 2
WARMUP: I took the warmup.

THE THANG: Aladdin took the first part. Run the big loop clockwise – 1 burpee at each light pole and 10 dips at each bench. That worked so well that we did some more when the Q came back to me, but this time 1 squat at each pole and add a squat for each subsequent pole until we hit a bench, where we did 10 incline or decline merkins and reset our squat reps back to 1 to build again from there. We had enough time to do a third lap – 1 imperial walker at each pole, minus the bench exercise.

MARY: LBCs x 50, flutter kicks (4 ct) x 25

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Convergence 1/20, Triple Hit Totty Q on 1/6

COT: The BOM was pretty much the mumblechatter the entire workout. Parenting is hard, and kids just don’t understand (DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince had it backwards).
