YHC was joined by Dingo (w/Gracie) and The Force for the standard mosey touring Christmas lights up and down hills on a new route that connected old and new neighborhoods. There was even a big Christmas present along the way (more on that later).
At 5:30 we had enough pax to get started, but not everyone was there, so we waited until 5:32 so everyone had a chance to show up *slowclap*. Eeyore performed his usual whip into a parking place on 2 wheels . Even Stray, who seems to have become a perpetual Kotter, was late (not like him) and stopped to say hello to us before finding a parking spot. Titan blessed us with his presence, and boy, did the blessings just keep on coming from him throughout the workout *big-smile*
Since it is the week of Christmas, I actually did plan a workout and proved it by showing my Weinke about halfway through the workout. Here's what went down.
Warmorama mosey around and through the parking lot with Karaoke thrown in.

For the life of me, because I'm writing this the day after (there's a lesson in there somewhere), and I lost my Weinke, I can't remember all the exercises. Someone help me out.

-Thanks to everyone that showed this fine morning. It was a lot of fun for me and even the pax that had to modify showed up for the festivities. You know who you are.
-We learned that The Force will take anything off the side of the road that says "free" on it. Even if it is in a dark alley and he doesn't have the means to get it to his house.
-After each sprint during the Frosty Melter, pax were given the option to slow jog back or walk. Guess which one they picked, every time.
-Awesome to see Stray this morning for the workout and coffee afterwards. Most of the other pax were also able to make it to coffee. Sorry to Dingo that I was delayed and couldn't make it until later. I owe you a coffee, brother.
-Apologies for the late backblast. I did warn everyone that I would be driving all day to a place that has no cell service. Some accepted that excuse, others were skeptical, especially the ones that work for my mobile service company.
-Thanks to Amen for choosing J-Lo for his MARY exercise and calling it Mrs. Clause to stay with the Christmas theme. Although, it did cause an awkward moment
