Months ago YHC thought it would be hilarious to Q a workout specifically because it fell on Taylor Swift’s birthday. As many of you may know, the name Shake It comes from Alf telling the PAX at YHC’s first post that YHC’s walkup song for our softball team was to Shake It Off by Taylor Swift. The rest is history. The initial plan was to serenade the PAX with a T Swizzle playlist on a bluetooth speaker, but YHC didn’t realize the speaker wasn’t charged. There’s always next year though.
9 PAX braved the black ice and showed up to TR. YHC was sliding all over the place getting out of the car and walking up the sidewalk to join the PAX. We assembled near the bathrooms and got started with our workout.
Warm-Up: in cadence
- SSH x29
- LBAC
- WMH
- Slow Merkins
- Mountain Climbers

With the sidewalks and parking lots seeming to be hazardous surfaces, YHC took the PAX to the turf field. There was no turf in sight as about six inches of snow and ice still covered the artificial surface. Time to play in the snow.
