Angry Starfish

Angry Starfish

Carried the substi-Q this week as Gummy continues to rehab a bum foot.  Was a little weary of this one as a certain basketball game tips at 9pm (actually like 9:12), and a shortened slumber turned even shorter as YHC had trouble sleeping, being heavily perturbed with that pathetic final four minutes of the game.

Anywho, I digress, three other men decided to join me in this cold clear sky gloom to slay the starfish.

Thoughts/Observations

I’m not going to say anything more about the game…I’m just not.  Other than it was pathetic.  Let’s keep it G rated.

Anyway, I had plans for some three man grinders, but with four, had to audible and the starfish it was.  We ended up covering some ground as Buttermaker’s handy dandy GPS had us at 2.6…not too shabby.

Buttermaker and Marge were pacesetters as you would imagine, and Nuke was killing it on the pull-ups.

Nuke also has pretty good case for renaming a squat hold to Eddie the Eagle, as you look like a ski jumper in a tucked position in squat, and then explode up out of it upon take off.

Great group out there this morning hanging together, pushing one another.

Nuke, thanks as well for taking us out, brother.

Until next time, after some really good REM.
