Apologies to Clement Clarke Moore:
- Twas 19 days before Christmas,
- And all through the fog,
- Not a creature was sweating,
- Not even a dog. #BringTheSweat
- Ten PAX were stretching,
- By Camo’s Sweet Tundra with Care,
- With the Hopes that their Q,
- Soon would be there. #Kotters
- When what to my wandering eye,
- Should never be forgot,
- but a second helping from Pegasus,
- And Neon coming in hot. #BetterLateThanNever
- And I heard the Q exclaim,
- As he Moseyed out of sight,
- “Nineteen days until Christmas,
- You can put off shopping tonight.” #
I completely spaced out and forgot to explain why most of the exercises today were in groups of 19. There are 19 days before Christmas. So get out there and shop (if that’s your thang).
Condition
Crisp, cool, humid, with a hint of the colder front heading our way.

November was personally a tough month. Lots of travel, kids stuff, and work deadlines. I missed more F3 workouts than I wanted to. I was able to post in Plano on Nov 2. After that, my schedule keep me from posting until late November. Thank goodness for the burpee challenge. I wasn’t able to make it all the way, but the home / travel burpees kept me feeling great. So, well deserved “Kotters” this morning.
Strong work today men! I saw Choo choo take feedback on form. I saw Knob pushing hard through merkins and sprinting. I saw everyone push hard through the BLIMPS. Nice work on the BLIMPS Space Balls. I meant to start with arms, then move to core, then finish with legs. Other than the squats and sprints, I forgot legs. #NextTime
