Got off to a fast start today with the mosey up the deck.  Quick COP and right into the burpee tabata.  Always the right call if you ask YHC.  Triple Nickel saw some Larry Birds in Mighty Mite, Brisket, Morning Star.  Strong work out there by the PAX on this set.  Burpees called to wait for six.  This did not go over well.  Several refusniks.  A few PAX came around in the end a did a few.  Mighty Mite mentioned the one-mile run around Ballantyne Pond pre-workout.  Funny, it was already on the list.  Haggis, Brisket, Champagne, Morning Star were up near the front.  No official times released.  Finished up with some mary-merkin.  Frehley’s impressively made his presence known with his legendary flatulence.  Thanks for that.  Welcome to Dear Abby who was site FNG.  Recently moved to S. Clt from Metro area.  Look forward to seeing you at A51 workouts.  Strong group out there today who pushed hard.  A pleasure and a privilege to lead at Bagpipe.  YHC took group out in BOM.

Maybe today’s mile punishment will make me stop talking so much. No. Probably not.
