So that was as much of a disguise as I could put on a Murph. We got in our 100 pull ups, 200 merkins, 300 squats, and 2 miles, plus lots of other stuff worked in. I also had us at a solid extra half mile: Garmin reading was 2.52. At about squat #200 Silent Bob figured out we were doing a sneaky Murph. Burying the merkins in sprints and breaking up the pull ups with running helped.

Lots of Larry Birds. Silent Bob was dusting all of us on the Circuit, leading me to appoint him relief Q for the Mary while waiting for the Six. SB, thanks for blowing off one of your regular Metro haunts for the morning, even if it was mainly because you wanted your Palmetto 200 shirt. #TeamPrius. Floor Slapper, Marge and Harley were also running out front with regularity.

DK turned our random run between the many OP fences into some kind of parkour steeple chase leaping over various inanimate objects that had the audacity to stand in his way.

T Claps to Bottom Dweller for coming down from NoCo to bring his FNG Schlitz. Good work today, Schlitz. I hope you will be back soon. Also check out Ascent at the same location at 7:00 on Saturday, and check the website for more workouts. I only realized after the workout that Schlitz’s real name is Michael Moulton, which could have led to some Michael Bolton jokes, including potentially unfortunate names from the movie Office Space. You got lucky.

Announcements
Q too smoked to remember. Check the website for everything. New moderate running workout at South Charlotte middle. Site Q Slim Fast, whose speed is anything but moderate. Joust and Kevlar still operating as Jevlar for the time being. North Country Bear is coming up. I did it last year and it was awesome in its own awful way.

Anyone who has any leads on IT jobs, our new brother Schlitz is seeking one.

Thanks to Puddin Pop for the take out and the opportunity.
