The SF was planted by SC (albeit painfully in the parched terrain) at CDHS & 40 of Area51’s finest (actually McGee was a welcome guest from Metro) hit the pavement running…

Moleskine:
At the 0530 call to launch, Spielberg, apparently not prepared for this particular production of SW, asks YHC – “Can I borrow a KB?” YoYoMa to the rescue.
The mumblechatter started early on the quick 400m warmup lap. 49er, after a several month hiatus from SW (kotters, btw) – grumbled about how he chose SW to get a break from the running at Fast Twitch. Sorry YHC didn’t fully oblige…but the men only ran 5 laps (1.25 miles), so the pax mumblechatter fell on deaf ears….frankly think YHC is actually going deaf since turning 40. If that comes to full fruition, that would make me immune to Tiger Rag’s verbal assaults. #silverlining In fairness to Tiger Rag – he did help YHC with the mapping of the 400m route and the form for the high pulls….since YHC is not exactly adept at throwing the KB around as you all saw.
Bananas finally “peeled” himself from the fartsack and joined the pax a few minutes late (couldn’t resist the dig or the bad joke). Rumor has it he was heard whimpering throughout the workout about missing his beloved clown car.
Bugeater and a couple of other pax who donned the smokeboots for the AYG 400m runs clearly paid no attention to the warm-up lap route as they only ran about 337m on the 1st lap. The rest of you stand-up and be called out.
Semi-gloss, who was FNG to SW – hope you’ll make SW a regular part of your weekly downpainments…and YHC speaks for all the pax when saying: “Thank you for keeping your shirt on.”
Speaking of shirts…..welcome also to FNG Ike, an EH by YHC. His sleeves were much shorter than those typically worn by Stone Cold and Brown. Nevertheless, Tina’s got some stanky laundry to tend to.
All joking sort of aside, the pax did well. Mixing the AYG runs in with the KBs is no easy task — but you men got after it. Thanks for waiting for YHC to finish some of the KB exercises before heading out on the runs.
