As we’re in the midst of Hanukkah, we took some time to acknowledge it through the Fartlek this morning.
Mosey to the CC Entrance: Goodmornings, SSHs and Long Leg Lunge Strectches, all x 8 (for the 8 crazy nights).
Mosey to Garber. From there, were did a figure 8 loop around the Ministry Center parking lot, across Country Club, and behind Garber church which is roughly a half-mile, followed by an exercise with 8 reps:
M is for Merkins
E is for Elbow-to-knee
N is for Nose merkins (touch your nose to the pavement)
O is for Oblique crunches (8 to each side, keep that 6-pack symmetric)
R is for (peteR parkers, IC- literary license used here)
A is for down low (reference Trina) Air presses. With time running short, we modifed to the now-named “Travis Loop”- aka, a quick figure 8 loop in the Ministry Center parking lot, followed by:
H is for Hallelujahs (8 lunges per lung, all while both arms are in the air, bonus points if spirit fingers and or saying Hallelujah).
S is for 8-count squats (1,2,3 on the down, hold for 4,5,6 and 7.).
We then moseyed back towards the CC, with 4 stops for 2 Burpees each (8 burpees!).
With more time than expected, MARY:
- We attempted to Light the Menorah, but YHCs poor coordination led to 8 more squats.
- Grab the Dreidel (aka Freddie Mercuries) IC x 8
- 8-inches x 38 seconds
- Dead Crunchy frogs IC x 8
Named, announcements and prayed. Aye!
P.S. This Fartlek scored a 46 on the Peepin’ Tom Garmin Intensity Minutes scale.

PPPS I’ve found the intensity of a workout has a direct correlation to alcohol consumption the night before. If you want a higher score, buy Peeping Tom a drink. (I was hungover for Sandbagger’s fartleg)
