I Don’t Apologize for Length

I Don’t Apologize for Length

Twas a cold morning at Centurion.  Temps in the low 20s.  The Pax eagerly questioned the Q whether or not we would stay moving, I answered with an affirmative but not knowing how true those words would be.  YHC offered up a pair of extra gloves to Overdraft, my brother who came out for the Q.  Those also would be important.  With a few thoughts in the head, we headed out after a quick disclaimer, then turned around and went the other way.

COP

Mosey to the top of Palantine Hill for COP.  Granted it was pitch black and I had on gloves, but pretty sure there was some heavy frost resembling snow/ice.  Overdraft was pretty happy on the glove call.

The Thang:

Mosey down the other side of Palantine, circled the back of the shopping center to the other side in front of Party City.  On the way back to Amelie’s there were 12 crosswalks (not speedbumps, crosswalks I tell you.)  We would be running a suicide using these 12 crosswalks and back to Party City.  At each crosswalk the following exercise, back at Party City 10 calf raises each time.  I did mention I had no idea how long this would take and we may audible, we did not, and crushed it.  YHC even counted right.

Circled back for the six.  Stopped in front of Chuck E Cheese, grabbed some wall as we waited on everyone to come in.  50 air presses, 20 donkey kicks, 30 air presses, 20 donkey kicks.

Mosey back to launch.

Moleskin:

I was telling Margo how ill prepared I was for the Q beforehand.  He was saying how he usually has 3 separate things planned and I agreed.  YHC had one, but apparently today that’s all it took.  I had no idea how long the suicide would take, but knowing the AO well, figured I would improvise once it wrapped up and head to the rock pile, other shopping center, parking deck, etc.  But after a quick yog and COP, suicide was a good 30+ minutes, leaving a few minutes for some air presses and Mary.  Point Break did 450 calf raises earlier in the week and was still feeling it Wednesday.  I added 120 for his quest to be Phil Mickelson.  Apparently YHC does not have the pull with the Valley guys that Sable does, but he came out nonetheless in the lead pack.  Snuka was there, the only guy that gets faster with age and colder temps.  I had over 3 miles with the new watch, not sure that constitutes a boot camp or not.  But stayed close to home, group stayed together, and was a tough one.  Margo stared down the group at COT and came away with Point Break and Snuka on Q the next 2 weeks.  Mermaid on IR with some shoulder issues, ice up son.  YHC took the group out in prayer.
