Saw a shirt at lunch at Viva Chicken the other day that said, “Similes are like metaphors”.  Well, we started with 3 guys and ended with 2, which is like SOFAWIB’s remaining days.  Counting down some of the better workouts of the past 18 months with #3 today, Maria Maria:

Run to corner of Rea and Rea (tight group, no burpees).  Head south on Rea toward Hwy 51.

Forward run to lit streetlight, backward run to next.  7 burpees.
Forward run to next streetlight, backward run to next.  10 merkins.
Forward run to next streetlight, backward run to next.  10 WW2 situps.

Mix in 5 Dumbocrats at each named side street.  Repeat to Hwy 51, turn around, and continue back to HT.

That’s the entire workout, in what?  5 sentences?  Anyhow, a relatively simple Weinke somehow confused the heck out of Swiper, to the point that he had to be doing it intentionally.  He bolted slightly early to make a work meeting, leaving Cold Cuts and I to finish it out.  We nearly completed it, making a few alterations to the last 1/4 mile or so to get back in time.  Still an awful workout, seemingly made worse today by nearly every single street light between Colony and 51 being lit.  Interestingly, neither Sundancer nor One Eye, both of whom contributed to the naming of this workout, were present.  WW2 situps had to deter Sundancer, and no idea if One Eye was around or not.  Probably out hiking the Appalachian trail, or something…

With a large group, fun to share the conversations / stories, but with 2-3, it seems like a violation of confidence, so that’s all for today.
