The lucky few PAX not out with the flu made it out for a cold morning, interrupted by things that warmed us up.

WARMUP: Warm up stations as we worked around the fields to the coupons, stopping for SSH, imperial walkers, Michael Phelps, hillbillies, cherry pickers, willie mays hayes, Moroccan night clubs, downward dog.

THE THANG: Slow exercises to a slow song, followed by fast exercises to a fast song, repeato.
1. Slow. 8-count reps of Merkins, OH press, and coupon squats (4 count down, 4 count back up), repeating until the song was done. To “Tennessee Whiskey” 2. Fast. Burpees for 30 seconds, 15 seconds rest, to “Higher Ground” 3. Slow. Rifle carry across field and back until the end of “People are Strange” 4. Fast. Bonnie Blairs (merkins when you need a break) until the end of A-Punk
5. Slow. Plank variations until the end of “Red Right Hand” – yep, 6 minutes long
6. Fast. sprint across the field, 45 second intervals, until the end of Whiskey Before Breakfast
7. Mixed it up to end with a mary set. So… Fast. Motivators from 10 to 1 to the rhythm of Been Caught Stealing.
8. Slow/Mary. Flutter kicks / Hello Dolly’s / gas pumpers for half of I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For.

MARY: See #8

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bowling – see 2nd F channel

COT: The F3 beatdowns help a lot, but sometimes it’s good to take it slow. Whether it’s stretching, yoga, going for a walk, meditation, take some time to take care of yourself.

Announcements: Sparky is gaging interest in a service activity with Wreaths Across America at Chestnut Grove Cemetery on Saturday, December 17th, at 0800. Let him know if you are interested in participating.

CoT:
Your composure and posture communicate to not only others, but also your mind about whether you are up-and-coming or down-and-falling.
So, attend carefully to your posture. Quit drooping and hunching around. Speak your mind. Put your desires forward. Walk tall and gaze forthrightly ahead. Dare to be dangerous. Encourage the serotonin to flow plentifully through the neural pathways desperate for its calming influence. Stand up straight with your shoulders back.

COT: it’s been a great year, growing in confidence at work, at home, in general from this continued experience. Even if you can’t do something, you can try, and even if you suck at it, there’s someone to your left and right trying, too. Keep coming out to strengthen the body, but more so, the mind.
