Celebrating the New Year (at the North Pole)

Mother Nature’s hammer was fierce and wicked, but 7 noble (and bundled) warriors answered.  Here is how we welcomed in the first Gridiron of 2018.

• COP
  • 18 SSH
  • 18 DQ
  • 18 IW
  • 18 merkins
  • 18 flutter kicks
  • 18 lunges
  • 18 helicopters
  • 18 dips
• Mosey to the playground for a jerkin ladder starting and 8 and counting down to 1
• Mosey to parking lot to celebrate the new year – 1 constant exercise (running) with 8 alternating exercises at various corners of the parking lot (6 reps at 3 corners of the 4 corners of the parking lot for a total of 18 reps of each exercise below)

• • Burpees
  • Monkey Humpers
  • Merkins
  • LBC
  • Pickle Pounders (aka blue ballers in this weather)
  • Heels to heaven
  • Carolina dry docks
  • WWII sit-ups
• 18 APD
• Rinse and repeat on the celebration of 2×18 (see above)
• 18 APD
• 18 3 count deep squats
• Sprint the parking lot x2
• 18 3 count deep squats
• COT with YHC taking us out
• Fellowship at Einsteins

Lots of reps of 18 to celebrate the beginning of a new year at Gridiron.  For the record it was cold, but it was great to see a loyal PAX supporting YHC in his efforts to Q.  I was thrown for a loop when Nightcrawler appeared.  Rumor had it he would be hunting birds, and his camo Elmer Fudd hat hinted at doing that later.

Welcome to Ginger!   Great effort in the freezer-like conditions today.  Do not be a stranger.  As for those out with injuries (Byproduct and White Deer), get well and come back soon.  You were missed.

Even in the frigid cold, God is good all the time!
