19 HIM ventured west across Tryon road, warmed up, painted lines, then started some “Long Elevens.” CDD at top of the hill and Fox hole Merkins at the bottom. made it to about 6 by the time we needed to roll back to the flag.

1-year ago today I learned what a HIM was. I appreciate this group. Thank you for continuing to make me better.

Prayers for Giza wife who has fever, Gravel Mouths mom for surgery, and Bubbas friend who recently lost her husband.

4 for a non-:turtle: EC down to Kildare and back. An additional 30 gathered for a New Year’s Day Region-Anniversary Site-Launch extravaganza! We had an FNG, so we stumbled through the mission and core principles on the way to a FOLLOW ME around the small pickle to the dock for warmups. The PAX counted off by 1s and 2s and we headed for the rock pile.

Kitty Litter kept the 1s for rock work and Jigglypuff took the 2s for 7s on the hill. We flipflop’d after 10 minutes and repeato’d. Reconvene to put the rocks back and mosey to the flags.

At the flags, Mary consisting of the exercises created by the PAX last year – the M2H, Stingray Merkins, Stifler’s Mom, and CFH2M. Serious thanks to OTW for breaking up the motif – maybe we can explore a different part of the body this year.

COT where we named FNG Bruce ‘DeVito’ since he is the self-proclaimed shortest of his brothers. Hope to see him out again soon!

Prayers lifted up for Jerry’s family and for the new babies in our region (Brie spoken, Renfield unspoken). Huge praises for 2025 and our region – what a privilege to be a part of this and push to make each other better every day.

Seven rolled out this morning for a perfect temperature workout. We welcomed Skinny Fat from Charleston, who is in town visiting family. We said the pledge and then off for a short mosey warmup.

The goal of today was to try to get 300 of #4 exercises. Those UNC fans will know the significance of those numbers. We stayed in the Waverly park as we basically did pearls on a string with merkins, low slow flutters, squats and LBC’s. We made it to 300 of something I think and we had a good time trying and mumble chatter was on point.

Back to the flag just in time. Announcements included New Year’s Day convergence and the 2025 DDD. Prayers lifted up for family events and families in general. It was a pleasure to be out there with you fine fellas this morning. Go MIAGD!

2024 Tour de Lightmere is in the books. Record 44 pax showed for this year’s premier SCary event despite the 28 degree temperatures. In the gloom glow ropes were passed out on the cookie table, brief safety instructions and then we were off.

First stop in a cul de sac was all about warmups featuring stealth burpees and the required Scary stretch. Waved goodbye to the house and then safely crossed Lochmere drive to run to Windy Rush Lane. Gathering like the Hoos ’round the leaf pile we held for the six, did a few more exercises culminating in Monkey Humpers in front of @hgtv’s house. Then on to Candy Cane house where the traffic suddenly picked up.

Down to the dock where the featured exercise was @kirkland leading us in 100s, a stroll down Lochmere drive, Earkins, Dirkins, Dips…cross the road, through the disc golf course culminating in the crazy house. The back to the flag for COT. Around this time @Kitty Litter pointed out that mileage topped 2.0 miles — a bit more than expected, but the pax made it through.

Robust COT with 10 FNGs. Six took names and four wisely remained anonymous so that they can’t be tracked by the government spies among us. The fires felt mighty nice.

Thanks to @Shipyard and @ Water Wings for fire duties and to all who helped make this a lot of fun for all. Ten FNGs at YHC’s workout means that with multiplier effects, means that @Fruit Loop has rocketed into first place for the 2024 Scaryiest Man contest. I humbly accept the honor. Who knew that Tour de Lightmere was the sleeper event to achieve a massive victory from behind?

It was 5:44 and 3 lonely souls somberly stood at the flag. All of the sudden, out of nowhere, the PAX rolled in hot, fresh off their post Christmas party hangover, ready to get to work.

Started with a longerish mosey out of the park to warmups, and then painted the lines on our way back in. Headed to the coupon stash for the thang. Partnered up, and each round one PAX would execute an Iron PAX Challenge inspired feat while the other completed an AMRAP exercise. Then swap. Feats completed included Murder Bunnies, Blockies, overhead coupon carry, Redrum Bunnies, coupon lunge walk, standing broad jump. We might just have some new IPC converts for 2025! Only one block destroyed.

Post COT the PAX found themselves lost with no site Qs or coffee in sight. Rumor was that coffee was over at the pavilion, but were there cups? Was it too far? Most decided to head directly to Escalator or hit the showers. Site Qs may need to re-engage before SWW becomes only a memory.
Praises to Astro for his Christmas party planning and prayers for those struggling during the holiday season.
MIAGD!

Great turnout for a pre-Christmas discussion on Advent and waiting in eager anticipation for the coming of Christ. Dove into the history of Advent and what it means for us including what we are waiting for in life. Talked about the second coming of Christ and what we know or think we know about that. Great engagement and participation from the PAX.

Our hearts are open and yearning, and our hope is fully in Him!

Had a blast for my 2nd annual Christmas Movie Trivia Q which was completed in costume this year. Started with a warm up question before moseying to the warm up spot that was by Santa’s favorite Christmas time bakery, Dewey’s. Santa had to remind the Pax multiple times to not stare at the goods. We then moseyed to the Christmas tree where Santa felt right at home for some Trivia questions and corresponding exercises. If the Pax got the answer wrong, we then had to do 5 penalty burpees on top of the exercise. Ran a short pickle in between. Back to the flag for the last few questions during Mary. Prayers for @unitard and @Barista. Sign up for the Christmas party by tomorrow. Appreciate the opportunity to Q.

8 runners ran ( i assume the GTL proposed 10 miler); 6 Boot campers faced the cold in definitely not Pearls on a String. We did however do a warmup and some exercises on the way to the Thang. Thang was a YHC favorite Triple Nickel on the Kildaire hill. The definition of Triple Nickel was questioned and I continue to doubt what it is as i type this. Nonetheless, One legged Merkins were done (5 reps for each leg elevated) at the top of the hill, Zombie Crunches (5 reps of oblique focused crunches on each side) at the bottom. YHC planned more but didn’t realize how far it was from the flag to the hill. 3 miles covered and a variety of body parts were exercised over the morning. Good discussion of worthless baseball cards, grapefruits, pears, Belichick, toys that are too big, and virtual holiday partys. Great group; thanks for letting me lead

5 Red Pills showed up! Said the Pledge then moseyed over to the parking deck across the street. Started off with cinder block curls for the girls, mosey, cinder block rows, mosey, cinder block triceps, mosey, merkins, mosey, irkins, mosey, LBC’s, mosey. Rinse. Repeat. Kitty Litter Co-Q offered to step in and step up and step up he did with rock your bodies, murder bunnies and burpee broad jumps. All limped back to WP.

Announcements: Toy Drive get donations to HGTV (or Kitty Litter). Christmas Party at Craft 2.0’s only no 3.0’s. Plan accordingly.

Prayer Requests: Kitty Litter’s friend was in a serious car accident. Prayed for wisdom for the doctors involved in his treatment and a complete and rapid recovery.

5 crossed boundary lines and met at Apex Cigar Lounge for some fellowship. While Phil Ford did not show up, I made sure to retell my Phil Ford story a few times. Enjoyed the conversation and chance to puff puff pass with those who attended.
