CrossFit Athletic Group

I have given up on counting. Shakes says it's 57 (58 if you include Cameron). I'm fine with that. Either way, there will need to be a different format for next year's Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve Workouts - especially the Christmas one. The main culprit was the Magi Mile with wallballs and running. Well, I can't even say that entirely because the first and third workouts al had minor hitches as well. Still, that is a good problem to have. Check out the crowd!

I'd like to give special shouts to Erica for driving an hour to come in, as well as Summer rookies Caitlin and Emily O'Malley for making a similar trip. The workout adjustments will be easy fixes; cultivating a community like this is not and I would take this tradeoff any day. Awesome group and everyone ended up doing something resembling a workout. The counting was a hot mess, but I would guess Aaron and Dakota would have won. Or Murley and Shakes. Or Baby Natalie and Zeena, who claimed an impressive 484 reps on the wallball workout. Again, next time we'll adjust, this time we just had fun with it.

The afterwards stuff was really good too. I actually participated in the White Elephant gift exchange because Mr. Butcher bought a present for me to play (it was a yodelling pickle, in case you were interested). It was all in good fun until Coach Casey hid some socks in Lira's water bottle:

What? You want a closer look? Fine.

Yup. That's my wedding face on socks. Mr. Bennis got some too. And Murley. And probably every single person at the Champions Club will have Chrisfacewedding paraphernalia at some point in their gym career courtesy of Coach Casey and Mrs. Tara. To say that my ego is still standing stout and strong would be a lie.

The extent of my socks pictures is posted here, but if you would like to see other non-Chrisfacewedding related pictures you can check out full galery here.

The workout "results" can be seen here.

We also have workout highlights - including what has to be a panorama of the most packed our parking lot has ever been.

On a related note, if you are doing a winter Christmas painting and want it to look cold, you can leave out the little touch of crimson because it's your painting and you can do what you want. But otherwise you don't want to set the sky on fire, you just want a nice pinkish glow. You don't even have to clean off your brush.

Christmas Day workout time is 11 am if anyone wants to come in and mobilize or hang out or whatever.

Thank you again for making our family so great. I am truly humbled.
