COT: Learning to do something isn’t about just picking it up and being good at it. It’s about being bad. For a really long time. And being okay with that. You have to get comfortable with that if you ever want to get better at something. And it’s never too late to pick up something new.

WARMUP: The usual

THE THANG: REINDEER GAMES

We did exercises for each reindeer, with pax able to call out ‘Blitzen’ for 10 burpees throughout the beatdown.

– Dasher – partner up, one partner does squats, other does suicides, turning at each light. Switch it up. Repeat a second time.
– Dancer – partner up for some bad dance moves. One partner does air presses, other karaokes the full length of the field. Switch it up. Repeat a second time.
– Prancer – partner up for some prancing. one partner does star jumps, other does high skips to the third light. Switch it up. Repeat twice through
– Vixen – according to the dictionary, vixen means a “quarrelsome woman.” 15 J-Los in cadence, followed by 15 Hello Dollys in cadence. – Comet – full field/street mosey
– Cupid – cupid aims for the heart, the heart is in our chest, so….merkins! pax did 100 merkins, stopping as soon as the first person got there – Donnor – no time (would have been Captain Thors)
– Blitzen – no time (would have been more burpees)

Can’t forget Rudolph, which for Terrapin, was the circle of thrust.

I think we got to 80 burpees by the end

COT
Q shared below quote:
“I wish I could’ve known my Dad. I wish I knew the cadence of his voice, how he liked his coffee or the way it felt to be tucked in after a bedtime story. I always wondered if he would’ve caught tadpoles with me during the muggy Washington summers, or if he smelled of Camel Lights & strawberry Nesquik (his favourites, I’ve been told),” she added.

“But there is also deep wisdom being on an expedited path to understanding how precious life is. He gifted me a lesson in death that can only come through the LIVED experience of losing someone. It’s the gift of knowing for certain, when we love ourselves & those around us with compassion, with openness, with grace, the more meaningful our time here inherently becomes.” Quote from Frances Bean Cobain about her father Kurt Cobain who died in 1994

Take aways-
Spend time with your kids
Life is precious and live it with grace
