Unwrapping Blocks of Coal at Parliament

Three pax joined a pair of EC runners for this week’s session of Parliament. Having just Qed the previous day at the Estate, YHC was devoid of (much) creativity and decided to build upon the 12 days of Christmas.

Announcements:
- Huck has Q at Mayhem tomorrow. YHC has foolishly HCed. You should too.
- Q school is Saturday, 12/14, at 0630 at Hanes Park, led by Huck. Van Gogh will pre-record a message on form and the five core principles to be played on a loop for attendees. Zima will demonstrate proper cadence counting unless Schultz appears.
- In addition, on the same day immediately following Q school, Purgatory will converge at IS at 7 with Huck and Zima co-Qing. Merry Christmas!
- Relatedly, Q openings on all calendars. Step up and lead a workout!

- Fundraiser in honor of Blue Steel at Ardmore Barber Shop is Saturday, 12/14/19 as well. Stop by on your way to the party.
Prayer Requests:
- H.O.G.’s uncle died in a car crash in Alaska on Wednesday. Pray for H.O.G.’s family, particularly his mother, Melissa. Praise that funds for the funeral were raised within 24 hours of the campaign.
- H.O.G.’s son suffering from migraines; wisdom for doctors providing diagnoses and treatment.
- Physical healing for for Blue Steel, Spicoli, Root Canal, and Rust Bucket.
- Soul healing for all those suffering.
YHC took us out with prayers of thanks for bodies that work and fellowship with one another, asking for comfort for all those suffering.
NMM:
- YHC was convinced that Huck was legitimately leaving pre-workout when he heard that we would be celebrating Parliament’s declaration in 1621 that Christmas should be 12 days long (revisionist history).
- YHC was the six most of the morning, not least of which was a result of the burn of walking with the block overhead. Humble pie for all 12 days.
- Little House needs 18 days of Christmas. He was ahead of us all morning and probably got in ~250 SSHs while waiting for us to finish each cycle.
- 60 Minutes enjoyed the workout once he figured out the pattern. I gave him Dr. Balco’s card for treatment. He also put in 2.2 miles pre-workout.
- Schneider likes country Christmas music. Sadly, YHC’s Spotify playlist only hit blackjack one, but it was a good one: George Strait’s Joy to the World.
- Huckleberry carries a block like he does a burpee: YHC couldn’t walk as fast without a block as Huck did with a block over his head.
- The weather appeared threatening throughout, but we managed to only absorb the moisture on the wood chips at the playground (gas pumps and HTH) and in the puddles of the parking lot (via bear crawling).
- Not a step was run in this workout. 60 Minutes moved too quickly one time with his block, but was quickly called on it and order was restored.
- Safe travels, Gucci. You’ll need to make a copy of the master key as I dropped a block on mine.
