COT
MOLESKINE
Can’t say a whole lot went on during the workout other than running around the school and exercising. More observations than anecdotes, really:
- I beat OT to the workout by 2 minutes.
- OT is getting chafed by the “beat OT to workout” jokes. The best remedy for that rash is the sweet balm of punctuality.
- Floorslapper avoids the late jokes by joining mid-workout.
- New lights in the parking lot. Or I am just noticing after a multi-month McKee sabbatical.
- There’s a big hole in that field.
- Curd is tired of the same old exercises and doesn’t mind telling you.
- Curd and Header running a close 1, 2 on most forehead.
- Speaking of forehead, Hops is stalking this BB and will comment. #Mercy
- It’s not BRR training if you’re not running the BRR.
- My water bottle had soap in it; reminded me of Peggy the Foul-Mouthed Chambermaid.
- Space Giants Better than anything on the Disney Channel, past, present or future. Space Giants: doesn’t mean to be funny and is. Disney Channel: tries to be funny but isn’t.

Thanks for the lead TR. What it lacked in creativity it made up for in effectiveness. Some items of note:
– There was indeed a shovel flag present and planted firmly in The Matrix turf
– OT has turned over a new leaf and has been relatively timely for the last month or two.
– Floor Slapper has kept the same old leaf
– I ran a few laps with Header and Lobster Roll. All they talked about was taking the doors off their jeeps. “It’s a Jeep Thing. You have no interest in understanding.”
– Apparently the PAX have a fear of asking any questions to the Q. Everyone promptly ran to the stumps for “in-outs” as called and then looked at each other asking what an “in-out” was. The name has since changed again in the BB to Crunchy Frog’s. I thought those were a dish at a Vietnamese restaurant? Anywho. Similar questions on the “Spartan Burpee” or as Lobster Roll claimed “I feel like I’m cheating myself on these”
– To TR, Curd, and Header – were open here every Monday. Come back and see us again.
