Chesticles Roasting on Spackler’s Knoll

Pax – Spackler, Dollywood, Header, Chin Music, Stone Cold Steve Austin

You remember the feeling when you showed up to school and forgot you had a test? Or when you got to about 10am the day of your wife’s bday and realized you forgot to wish her one? Or even better, that one time (or in Gloss’ case multiple times) when you felt you could easily let out that soothing fart and whelp….there goes the shart? Yeah me neither. However, I do know (now) how it feels to show up to Q and upon seeing (relatively few) pax and immediately realizing I was going to be the slowest and most out of shape gentleman of the crew. Perfect. Great feeling. Fantastic.

Gave zero disclaimer. Take that. These guys didn’t need it. They are all gentlemen. Oh and did I mention zero warm up as well? Yep.

Mosey towards Spackler’s Knoll with 15 merkins at each speedbump (5). At the bottom of Spackler’s Knoll it was decided we would do the half pipe x 3. 20 merkins at top of Knoll and 20 squats at other end. 5 burpees or 10 merkins at bottom each time. It was GLORIOUS.

Head back to AO with multiple stops for El Stomache’ stuff and not to forget the 15 merkins again at each speedbump (5).

We finished with some mas Stomache’.

Total mileage – 3.55 miles Total Merkins – ~210

Solid Augtober out there this morning. Look I’m no genius (shocker) but I got the street skills to know that upon arrival it was going to be a moist one.

Pulled up to some of the usual DV suspects – hoped for a few more so I could strategically hide throughout the work out but to no avail. Those missing probably went to that AARP workout this morning and are still itching the sand from their anuses. I said it.

It was also the kind of crew where I knew my normal potty mouth was going to be really frowned upon sooooooooooo the thought was let’s just run a lot so I get so tired I can’t talk. Pretty much worked.

All the others were chatty Cathy’s. Header and Chin were talking about dinner and sponge cakes, probably because it is Chin’s 42 Bday today. I’m more of an after dinner cocktail and #clickclick kind of lad over dessert but nobody asked me (and I couldn’t talk anyway). DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT think you can just walk up to Dollywood at a wedding and think he wants to talk to you just because your M’s are friends. Shocked to find that out but evidently he is some kind of reception Ninja. Be warned. Stone Cold was lamenting about soon to be paying college tuition not to mention the costs of homecoming, yearbooks, dresses, etc. Nothing of which I had any advice for….sorry pal – I see a 70’s jeep for sale in the near future.

Thanks to me, I took us out in prayer for the first time in years. And I do apologize for not asking God to spare us the bad luck today when that black cat jumped out of the woods like a damn black Panther and crossed the road in front of us at the end of the workout. Hail Mary full of Grace…………

Happy Bday to Chin Music.
