When a skunk invades the Foxhole, everybody leaves stinky

10 men ventured into the gloom thinking they were going to start their week off right. Instead, they quickly found out they should have stayed at home and gone for a light jog around the neighborhood. Those who survived are stronger for it…

Moleskine

• Thank you, Chanel and Voodoo, for inviting me out to Foxhole. Given how we all create our regular routines of go-to workouts, it’s nice to branch out a bit and see folks I don’t ordinarily see outside the Annual Christmas party and meet new folks who I’ve only read about in backblasts.
• This workout was an unabashed ripoff of a workout I (barely) survived 2 years ago. It was itself an unabashed ripoff of a couple other workouts. (Ecclesiastes 1:9). For some reason, it has stayed in my mind and I’ve been dreading its return. Figured it was time to rip off the band-aid and get it over with. Thanks for coming along with me.
• Today’s workout, while not horribly creative, was a testament to mental and physical fortitude. Whether they modified or not, everybody stayed with it. Well done, PAX. T-claps.
• Close to no mumblechatter – either because of the burpees or the counting required. Advanced math is tough in the gloom.
• I tried to start some chatter, but Philmont quickly quiped “If you can’t say something nice about the Q, don’t say nothing nice at all.” It was pretty quiet after that.
• For those counting at home, those so inclined completed 180 burpees, 210 swings, 60 goblet squats, and 45 russian twists with a little bit of running worked in to loosen things up.
• Four hours after this workout and I’m still catching my breath. Yep, it’s gonna be a good day…

Announcements

• None (since everyone ran off so fast)
