COT/BOM:  YHC took us out with gratitude for 11 years of F3 and God’s guidance for us to be salt and light as we go through the upcoming week

FIN.

NMM

YHC got a chance to connect with @BlindDate while we shivered in the wind and waited for the rest of the pax to show up.  We were eventually joined by 4 others during warm-o-rama (@DQ thought he missed the burpees but did catch them for round 2).  We got going on the Thang Part One and about midway through our group was made complete by @SpicoliOnSpicoliTime.

There was enough counting in this workout to keep the #mumblechatter down to a dull roar.  But some pax weren’t too happy with the shoulder work Dips and Derkins right after the Merkinfest.  But then they didn’t like the Lt Dans Going to Eleven either.  #HardToPlease.

The music was made up of hits from 2014 according to Billboard magazine:

• Wake Me Up (Avicii)
• Happy (Pharrell Williams)
• All About That Bass (Meghan Trainor)
• Shake It Off (Taylor Swift)
• The Monster (Eminem, Rihanna)
• Team (Lorde)
• Radioactive (Imagine Dragons)
• Maps (Maroon 5)
• Drunk In Love (Beyonce, JAY-Z)
• A Sky Full Of Stars (Coldplay)
• Wiggle (Jason Derulo, Snoop Dogg)
• Wrecking Ball (Miley Cyrus)
• Loyal (Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Tyga)
• Ain’t It Fun (Paramore)

It was an honor and privilege to lead this morning.  Thanks for indulging me 11 years ago and today.

Your friend,

Starfish
