Announcements:

  • Don’t forget: sign up to Q.  It’s pretty easy (Swiss Miss and YHC each have a “Pocket Yoga for Athletes” book you can borrow – YHC leans very heavily on it), and the perks are great (you choose the playlist and mood lighting).  It’s pretty fun too.
    • Paper Jam is on Q next week, 5/10.
  • Kinetic Heights – this Friday, 5/5.  Main “workout” from 0530-0615.  Pre-run at 0500.  Access to the Warrior Course from 0500-0700.  See “Kinetic-trips” channel on Slack for more details or reach out to Argonaut.

Supple Moleskine:

 

  • Fun times this morning.  YHC rolled in a bit sleep deprived, so some things were likely missed.  Nevertheless, we had some lively mumblechatter, which is what makes this Broga not yoga.  Somehow, we got on the theme of sex early on, I think it was the mood lighting, then lying down for corpse pose, when Tweetsie belted out a little Luther Vandross or Barry White.  An audible was required to skip the Pickle Pounders, after that, but J Lo and Honeymooners, aka Up Dogs, remained, however.
  • T-claps to the pre-runners.  Not sure how many there were, but it seemed quite a few of you had been sliding/skating around a la Gumby.
  • Sound off if I missed anything else of note.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead this morning.  Always an honor.

Aye.
