Appreciating Santa’s Impossible Journey

Northeast Tennessee Arrowhead (Indian Trail) Johnson City

It was a chilly 27 degrees with clouds and fortunately, no wind. There were 2, err 3, err 5 Pax eventually joining for a Christmas Eve beatdown. After we figured out whose birthday it was, it was time to warm up.

THE THANG
With 2.4 billion Christians in the world, the job of Santa seems impossible. To respect that, Pax did a variation of the impossible mile. We started with 10 pullups, then we lined up at the first light post.

  • Burpee broad jump to the second light post, run back, 10 pullups
  • Bear crawl to the third light post, run back, 10 pullups
  • Lunge to the fourth light post, run back, 10 pullups
  • Run to the fourth light post, run back, 10 pullups

For all the new bicycles that will be gifted this evening:

  • Freddie Mercury 2ct ladder on the car line 12 to 1, run back, 10 pullups

2.4 Billion is a lot of people. Santa needs to utilize time zones to make it happen. We started moseying west around the school. Stopping at the school flag.  Some of Santa’s stops have no chimneys and are at the top of high rises.

  • Steps ups on the bench x24 each leg

Continue moseying around the school to home plate.  Some houses are one level with small chimneys, gotta get low.  Or, as an alternative analogy, gotta dip those cookies in milk.

  • Dips x24

Mosey to the pain cave. Sometimes it doesn’t always go to plan. Santa slips and falls face first down the chimney. Gotta be prepared to control that kind of fall.

  • Derkins x24

Mosey back around to the carline at spot 1.  Gotta practice squeezing into that packed sleigh with some crunches.

  • Ascending ladder, LBCs at each car line spot.

May your ability to crawl down a chimney be hampered by your soreness tonight. Thank you for a great year. This is the time to EH others as people will begin thinking about lifestyle changes for New Years.
