YHC’s 5th Q in June.  3rd in last 4 posts.  DR for much of July so wanted to do my part in June.  Always enjoy leading the PAX and appreciate the invite from Dollywood, who was noticeably absent this morning.  Missed him out there.  The other site Q, Smokey was there.  Got to work out with him yesterday at Hawk’s Nest too.  Good stuff.  Even better was his arrival in the 15-passenger van.  He needs that for the good work he does as a youth pastor.  Told me yesterday he recently took a group out for 50 miles on the AT.  Also, good stuff.  Van immediately invoked BRR chatter.

Notes from the field:

Great to see Chin Music, been too long.  Solid showing

Was hoping Spackler would post, a good workout needs good mumblechatter

Utah told me he almost spilled merlot on the sprints.  He held it back.  Didn’t want to give YHC that satisfaction.  Makes you feel any better, YHC felt like spilling as well.  Tough weather

Purell brought his smoke boots for the sprints.  Tulip, also fast, asked, “Hey, did you run track Purell?”  Why yes, yes he did.

Rachel threw down some speed on the sprints, to no one’s suprise

Smokey, Funky Cold, and Hammy pushed on all parts, including sprints

Puddin Pops passed on the “Choose your own adventure” option to do a timed 1 mile run or the 5MOM.  Said he needed to work on his stomach.  Spackler says he will simply outline a 6-pack on his belly using SPF 50.  Good plan

Puddin also was flatulence-free today.  Said it has been a few workouts that way.  Reprieve is nice for the PAX.  Certainly will return, if YHC had to guess.  Past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior

Geraldo, Deep Dish, and Jet Fuel pushed on all of that one.  Well done men

Lastly, Haze complained about the Low Plank Jacks.  Again, that thing about past behavior, future behavior.  Don’t think he likes his beard hitting the ground, or something like that.  Anyway, those were for you, brother.  Will look into some plank variants that you make like more.  Next time.  Solid work today

T-claps to Smokey for the takeout prayer

Announcements
