ghetto christmas party . . .

okay, first of all - it's the middle of freakin december, and we're STILL running in shorts and t-shirts! i LOVE it! did an easy 90 minutes today with my firefighter buddy who plans on running the hali hundred next year.

'look maw - no long pants!!'

kool shot the mighty alex took of me doing pull-ups - a hundred of them i believe . . .

and a lot of you wonder why i put myself through all this torture - well check out 3 of the trainers at crossfit bolton. would you refuse to do anything that these people asked - especially the two on the ends with their shirts off . . . ah gawd bless to-nay and father jimmy!!!

wednesday was the night we'd all been waiting for - our ghetto christmas party and workout! before any food was consumed, the girls had to do the '12 days of christmas' (although cathy did show up with an 'already opened' bottle of wine!) basically, the workout goes the same as the song . . .

we set up a bar . . .

and a cake table which held the koolest ghetto christmas cake ever! fantastic job andreaaaaa!

and seeing as how sharon's birthday is coming up, andrea also made a 'strawberry shortcake'. it too was delish!! good thing the girls all worked out before . . .

to my girls of ghetto - you are amazing! thanks for an incredible year and i love how hard you all work!!

oh ya, i forgot to mention that the mighty alex made us do as many double unders as possible in 30 minutes last night. i did 1,111 of the fuckers! and thomas did over 1200! holy krap! that sucked!!!

and speaking of crossfit - again - awesome couple lisa and jay came out last sunday after class to run the humber! also had everhard join us. temp was perfect and nobody wiped out!!!

finally, a sweet shot of miss lilian hanging out on the balcony!

3 more days and i'm off to kelowna . . .
