The Thang:

We moseyed over to the Starbucks for a latte…actually just some wall jumps, followed by Irkins, SSH, and Derkins.  3 sets…decreasing the reps each time.

Then we moseyed over to the new covered area beside Trader Joes…wow!  What a place to hang out in the rain at 5:30 in the morning! You could have eaten off the floor, it was almost too clean in there.  We decided to dirty it up a little with some man sweat.  I know what you’re thinking…not that kind of man sweat.

Next was some dora (partner A – big boy sit ups/ standing lunges / imperial walkers / merkins & big boy situps….partner B runs suicides).

The floor was still too clean.  Needed more man sweat.  As is turns out, the world championship for bear crawling was held in this little atrium with its perfectly polished floors. Again…too clean.  So, we did a suicide bear crawl with some merkins and planking.  And practiced our defensive back skills while back pedaling (b/c we all need to back pedal from time to time…especially with the lady friends).

Then we did some karaoke…b/c why not wind down with this when you’ve been listening to Maria Carey all morning? It just feels good.

Then, we ran back to starbucks for another latte.  Actually, it was just some wall jumps/irkins/SSH/derkins.  Now that I think about it, I’m going to call that grouping of exercises (wall jumps/irkins/SSH/derkins), the “latte” from here on!

Then back to the start for COT.  An honest 45 minutes with Maria Carey as our siren…couldn’t get any better.

CoT:

Trying to be aware of those around us who may be hurting during holiday season (estranged relationships, loves ones lost, etc.).  But also dwell in the meaning of “God with us” and rejoice/anticipate that fact.
