Uncloistered

  “She gazed ahead through a long reach of future days strung together like pearls in a rosary, every one like the others, and all smooth and flawless and innocent, and her heart went up in thankfulness. Outside was the fervid summer afternoon; the air was filled with the sounds of the busy harvest of men and birds and bees; there were halloos, metallic clatterings, sweet calls, and long hummings. Louisa sat, prayerfully numbering her days, like an uncloistered nun.” A New England Nun By Mary E. Wilkins Freeman (1852–1930)

CrossFit Christmas Song (copyrighted by me)

(Tune: Jingle Bell Rock)

Kettlebell, Kettlebell, Kettlebell Squat;
Kettlebell Swing and Kettlebell Fling;
Burpees and Pull-ups are bushels of fun;
Now the jumping squats have begun.

Kettlebell, Kettlebell, Kettlebell Squat;
Dropping plates chime as we lift for time!
Girls and Heros and AMRAPS to spare!
Squats in the air!

What a bright time
For fastest time
to row the night away
Kettlebell time; muscles swell time
to go hunting for a PR to slay.

Giddy-up, double-unders,
pick up your feet;
Jump up upon that box
Mix-in and mingle some bodyweight WOD’s
That's the Kettlebell,
That's the Kettlebell,  

That's the Kettlebell Squat!
