I accepted the Q for the Cliffs a few weeks ago and was looking forward to leading at a site that was new to me. I arrived about 10 minutes early and drove around the school and church to get a lay of the land. There was already 2 cars in the lot waiting for 5:30 to arrive and after I parked, more started rolling in. I must say, the Garden guys come in early and ready to go. 12 HIM’s joined me on Christmas Eve morning and I was amped up and ready to go. Uncle Rico, Jewel, Husky, Skirmish, Tender Foot, Wapner, Huggies, Catfish, Little Jerry, Sweet Tart, Bubble Wrap and Drysdale all got better with me.
We took a short mosey to an open spot in the parking lot for COP. Just your basic SSH’s, Smurf Jacks, Downward dog, runners stretch, cobra and Merkins made up the warmup.
From there we moseyed to the coupons and over to a long stretch of empty parking lot. The Thang – coupon escalator with a sprint and 5 Star Child jump squats each time at the far end of the lot. Here is how it went:
20 Overhead presses – sprint to other end for 5 – Star Child Jump squats and back. Next, 20 Overhead presses 20 curls and 2 sprints. Third Set – 20 presses, 20 curls, 20 tricep merkins on coupon and 3 sprints and last but not least, 20 presses, 20 curls, 20 tricep merkins and 20 bent over rows followed by 4 sprints. We then ran it in reverse back to where we started. We finished together and stored the coupons.
I had heard about the hills around the church and I had to take us up at least once so we ran the steep hill up to the top behind the church and circled up for the “Vincent” burpee, merkin, plank jack Webb. 1-4 ratio of merkins and plank jacks starting and finishing in the standing position. Hence the burpee. When complete, we moseyed back to the starting lot for Mary and wrapped up right at 6:15. COR, NOR AND COT wrapped up the morning. Special intentions for Christmas Eve and the Reason for the Season!! Until next time, SYITG. Vincent
