Tuesday this week was Groundhog Day. To commemorate this day (and the classic 1993 film of the same name), the PAX performed the following (credit to Lucius for much of this workout)
:

– Burpees to “I Got You Babe” by Sonny & Cher. Pax performed a burpee each time Sonny or Cher sang the words “I got you… .” Air squats between burpees.

– 24 Mountain Climbers (IC), 24 Alternating Shoulder Taps (IC), 30sec Jog in Place, 24 Bench Jumps, 24 Lunge Steps, 24 Calf Raises (IC).

– Burpees to “I Got You Babe” by Sonny & Cher. Pax performed a burpee each time Sonny or Cher sang the words “I got you… .” Al Gore hold or air squats between burpees.

– PAX performed 12 Mountain Climbers, 12 Alternating Shoulder Taps (IC), 24 Bench Jumps, 24 Lunge Steps; 24 Calf Raises (IC).

– Burpees to “I Got You Babe” by Sonny & Cher. Pax performed a burpee each time Sonny or Cher sang the words “I got you… .” Air Press between burpees.

– PAX performed 30sec jog in place, 12 Carolina Dry Docks, 12 Air presses (IC), 12 Merkins, and 12 Bench Jumps.

– Burpees to “I Got You Babe” by Sonny & Cher. PAX performed a merkin each time Sonny or Cher sang the words “I got you… .” Air squats between burpees.

Observations: Snow covered the field, and the gate was locked, barring our entrance. There was hard snow and ice covering most of the AO, but we got in a good workout under the picnic shelter, which was mostly free of snow and ice. The goal of the workout was to get the PAX to hate “I Got You Babe” as much as Bill Murray’s character grew to hate it, but afterward Chile said he still likes the song—just not burpees! Nevertheless, all PAX finished this workout like champs.

Mary: Superman holds, V-Ups, Elbow Plank hold, Russian Twist, and Side plank holds.

“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.” — C.S. Lewis

Running Man shared the following Chinese proverb: “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.”

We can’t go back and change the past, but we can change the future. It is our daily decisions to do what is right that will make the difference.
