Bottomless Chips
30 strong gathered for A51’s oldest Hump Day workout, #F3DeathValley. After a quick disclaimer and a note that we were running to the Arbo, off we went.
The Thang

Run from Bath and Body Works by Walmart down to Chili’s for the main event. No bottomless chips or 22 oz. domestic drafts, just some work to be done. Partner up. Partner 1 do called exercise on the benches by the pond between Chili’s and Mickey’s. Partner 2 run small parking lot loop. Flap jack.

~ 3.8 miles
Moleskine
On Twitterverse last night, Gloss advertised something about running. So I obliged. All 30 guys moved at a pretty good clip to cover the 3.8 miles or so, with some exercises thrown in, during the 45 minutes. Solid work gentlemen. With very little complaining and only one comment of “Haze, this isn’t Fast Twitch”.
Gloss had to cut out early. Still posted in spite of knowing the plan to be off campus. You have to admire the man’s dedication to his site and to his clients, for setting up and making it to a 6:45 meeting. Either that, or he just showed up to use the on-site bathroom facility and didn’t finish his business before Pax starting rolling in, then felt like he had to stay.
Another TR siting…becoming so regular now that it’s almost not news anymore. No one was safe from his banter this morning, with several comments/suggestions for the Q and an inquiry of DK regarding an appearance of the “hairy suit”. Not only was his banter game strong, his refusenik skills looked as good as ever.
As part of our parking lot loop, we ran past Orange Theory. Looks to be the latest fitness craze. How long before Butter joins?
To Gloss and Dollywood, thanks for tapping me to Q. To the pax, thanks for running with me, and by me.

I had every intention of posting here, but I got going late and you guys were already gone by the time I got there and there’s no way this Clydesdale could’ve caught you.
Then to add insult, I tried to post at Anvil, only to find they have moved the start point, so by the time I did all that I just gave up and went on to work.
Oh well, that’ll teach me for trying something new. XD
Random observations… 1)Great to see TR back at it… I had missed seeing him in recent months… I almost gave him a hug, but TR doesn’t really do hugs… not even partner carries without protest; 2) Swiper always has that twinkle in his eye…. like, “I’m going to punish you” or “say something funny”; 3) Semi Gloss has a lot of gear on these days… kind of like Barry Bonds, minus the PEDs, 4) Donkey Kong is 30 years old… I’ve seen the young man grown up before my eyes, 5) Busch can carry a conversation even while sprinting… it’s demoralizing, 6) Puddin Pop is fun to say out loud, so I do so as frequently as possible at workouts. 7) Triple 7 is in great shape… setting the standard for Respect status; 8) Strange Brew was scantily clad today… sorry Brew, 9)Smokey was running a lot without his hat today… strange, 10) Haze is a mean-mean Q.
