AO: Mount
Q: Aaron Slutsky – Arby’s
PAX: HAS BEEN, Reading Rainbow, Sinkhole, Short Sale, Nimon Badgley (Doc) FNGs: None
COUNT: 6
PreRun: Short Sale and Arbys
WARMUP: Started at 5:30 exactly. SSH, Forward Arm Circles, Reverse Arm Circles, Over head clap. Moved on because the rain picked up. THE THANG: Twas the Night-ish Before Christmas
PAX planked whenever the poem was being read and they were not performing another exercise.
Twas the week before Christmas, when all through the AO
Not a PAX was stirring, especially not PATTI MAYO
The burpees (10 OYO) were finished in the parking lot with care
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be here
The PAX were planking all cold on the ground
While visions of 20 monkey humpers danced all around
And HAS BEEN with his stinky gloves, and SHORT SALE in his cap
Had just settled down with the PAX to do 20 plank jacks.
When out on the grass, there rose such a clatter
The PAX sprang from their plank to see what was the matter.
Away to the end of the parking (end and back) we flew like a flash
Sprinting vigorously, we completed the dash.
The concrete at the feet of the of winded PAX
Gave the luster of 20 in cadence smurf jacks
When, what to our wondering eyes should appear,
But ARBY’S and 8 tiny exercises so near.
A little old Q, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment, this must be a trick.
More rapid than eagles his courses they came,
And he whistled and shouted and called them by name.
Now Little Baby Crunches (ICx10), now Mountain Climbers (ICx10), now Squats (ICx10), now 10 OYO Burpees
On Merkins (ICx10), on Side Straddle Hops (ICx10), on Lunges (ICx10), on Bonnie Blairs (10 each leg)
To the top of the end of the parking lot (and back), to the top of the wall
Now dash away, dash away, dash away all! (lap)
So up to the table tops PAX they flew
With a sleigh full of toys and ARBY’S, too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the ground
The sound of feet as more mountain climbers (ICx10) came ‘round.
As we drew in our hand, and did 10 Merkins
Down the slide ARBY’S came with a bound
He was dressed all in red, from his head to his foot,
His clothes were all tarnished, in sweat and dirt.
A bundle of toys, he had brought on his back
He looked like a peddler just opening his pack.
His eyes, how they twinkled, his dimples how merry.
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry.
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow
And the beard of his chin was gone, oh no!
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath
He had a broad face and a little round belly
That shook when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.
He was lean and mean, a right jolly old creature
And everyone laughed when they saw him,
he had the weirdest of features.
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
Soon let me know, we had nothing to Dredd.
He spoke not a word, but went straight to work.
Laying out presents, then he turned with a jerk.
And laying a finger on his nose,
Giving a nod, up the slide he rose.
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle
But I heard him exclaim, as he drove out of sight
DO 20 OYO Merkins YOU’LL BE ALRIGHT!
After the poem we took a road trip to Asheville and completed a 10 county AVL Abs.
Once we arrived in AVL, it was time for presents. First, the PAX go the Little Merkin Boy Action Figure
PAX Plank, while we Play Bing Crosby’s Little Drummer Boy and every time we get parump-a-pum-pum – do a merkin)
Next they got the Shrinking Merkins magic set.
Wide Arm – Normal Merkin – Diamond Merkin
Finally they got a board game called Wheel of Merkin
Grab a piece of curb, and perform a number of incline merkins. Staying in the plank position, rotate 90 degrees clockwise until your body is parallel to the curb with left hand on the curb and right hand off it. Repeat the same number of merkins. Rotate 90 degrees more and perform the same number of decline merkins. Rotate 90 degrees more. Repeat with right hand on the curb and left hand off it.
