I don’t know, I don’t have any.

No children? No elephant books.

19 men gathered in a middle school parking lot at 5:30 on a Monday morning. Well, 18 gathered, Simba showed up exactly at 5:30, post-disclaimer. Good thing he didn’t get hurt. I got there myself at 5:25 and thought I was late because Insomniac was already there doing Tai Chi in the parking lot. Everybody’s second favorite Canadian, Strange Brew, (Michael J. Fox is obviously first) questioned the pre-workout, standing still, old man stretching a few guys were doing, then off we went.

Circle the lot to pick up Simba, then down to the track. 1/2 lap warmup, then circle up in the middle on the rugged, public school football field. IW (no SSH), HR merkins, Mountain Climbers. Over to one sideline, line up abreast, then back and forth across the field with various things to finish the warmup.

AYG 400. Then gather on one end of the track. Do the exercise in cadence, then run as a group 200m to the other end of the track. We did that for probably 4 laps total, including a direction change to keep Horsehead from cheating.

Gather on the sideline, partner up, then wheelbarrow across the field. No time for the sack race. Sprints back and forth (11 total) with 10 counts in between. Back up to the parking lot for 10 burpees. Done.

Moleskine
Good time out there this morning. Perfect weather and a good crowd. I don’t love the track, but options are limited at SCMS. So we made the best of it. I think Floor Slapper arrived at 6:14. I never saw him during the workout, but he was in COP. Strange Brew has gotten fast with his garage gym and sprints down the street (we all know who painted the distance markers on the road). Haze seemed a little grumpy at first, but he was crushing the 200s from lane 3, and calling out my bad form on the Dolly, which I respect. Horsehead needs an IT band transplant.

Announcements
BROlympics this Saturday morning.
BRR season looms. If you’re already on a team, see you at Fast Twitch tomorrow at 5:15. Alf is Q, so we’ll probably do Triple Nickel with SCMS on one end and Providence Rd on the other. If not, there are a couple of teams looking for a runner.

Good thing I read your backblast here Gummy. A) it looked fun, sorry I missed it. B) you gave me a good idea for tomorrow’s wrinkle and C) if I didn’t read this I am not sure when I would have realized I was Qing FT!

I was very annoyed to be spending my Monday morning running 400s and 200s on the track. Do better next time Gummy.

The visual of Insomniac doing tai chi is just classic. Good stuff Gummy. By the way, Babar should be the next FNG name.

That was not Tai chi… more like a TBQ – I was trying to determine if I could make it without having to pull an Elvis later.
