An enjoyable party to celebrate Chelms 49th. He was given the option to hand off the birthday brick at any time, but, to my knowledge, chose not to. Strong work. YHC appreciates the leadership that Chelms provides at #F3Centurion and felt privileged to throw the party. Solid group of men out there this morning. Good work by all PAX. 1.8 miles total run. YHC smoked at end of 45 minutes. Had trouble calling Mary cadence and trying to suck wind at the same time. Truly a pleasure and blessing to lead a fine group this morning. YHC took us out in BOM.

Solid Q Mermaid. I was devastated after the burpee tabata when I looked at my watch and realized we were only 9 minutes into the workout. Kept thinking that if Chelms weren’t so old our seconds to rest would have been more.
It’s not often that I will give Chelms props…but because it’s his birthday week, I will today. Nice effort out there this morning…carried that paver the whole time and flexed his muscles too. After he called for dollies and the Pax (including myself, if you can believe that) chastised him…he bowed up and made us to 49 in cadence. Now, he probably cheated during them but we all learned our lesson.
Happy birthday my friend! Hope you have many more.
Mermaid – I appreciate (for the most part) the birthday gift. There was no way I was going to let another man touch that paver. I was thinking of ways to return the favor for the entire 45 minutes.
PH – Thanks for props. Maybe I did and maybe I didn’t cheat on the burpees but I did not cheat on the dollies.
Also, I heard a fair number of wise cracks (mainly from Abacus, my own blood brother,although he may be adopted based on how he runs) about my “age”. However, I’d like to point out that I was at the front on all the runs. Must feel pretty bad looking at the backside of a 49 year old man, especially when you see him heaving a paver up and down the entire time.
It was a great morning. And now I have the #firewood for my next Q at Centurion.
Ok Chelms, just quit your belly aching. You should feel fortunate the PAX celebrated your birthday all week long. Most people only get to celebrate one day if at all. We can all look forward to 04/28/2015 when you achieve Respect. Don’t worry, I’ll remind everyone next year.
Another nice lead Mermaid. Consistently bring it when you Q.
