Never Too Old to Learn New Tricks

The SF was planted in what little green space there is at Rebel Yell, then 25 pax sounded a collective barbaric “yawp” and set out into the south Charlotte gloom.

COT w solid takeout by our War Daddy Van Pelt and only pax worthy of Respect this morning.

Ye Olde Moleskine:

Great group this morning.  Noticed lots of pax who’ve gotten much stronger and faster — Fire Hazard, Cable Guy, Bucky, Cold Cuts & Go Daddy to name a few..cobain for those not mentioned.  Could not catch Cold Cuts or Go Daddy during the runs around the buildings…not that it’s a race….Crabcake was also running well.  T-claps to everyone for pushing themselves.  Remember only modify if necessary not because you feel like it.  Push each other.

Thanks to site Q’s Strawberry & Heartbreaker for the invite to Q.  BTW, get some new shoes Strawberry.  I know you buy new tires for that truck of yours when it’s time.

Welcome to our FNG Bottom Feeder who is an EH of Van Pelt.  Come back anytime and be sure to link up with pax of the Dash.  Hope the downpainment was adequate for a triathlete.

Privilege to lead you men this morning.  Methinks the pax learned some new exercises as well…was that the reason for the less-than-yawpish cadence count at times?  No excuses next time.  BTW, if you don’t know where “barbaric yawp” comes from…shame on you.

Announcements:

Pebbles’ Invitational (all invited!) Gladiator Games this Saturday in Indian Land. See Twitter for details.

This excellent scene made reading this back blast well worth it. That and I figured if you admit reading BB’s to workouts you don’t go to others should too!

Hops- you are going to have to demonstrate what ‘yawp’ is.

Thanks Hops. A great workout. I think your new nickname should be “Nuwanda”

That’s, funny. Wait a second here. A secret society that meets when it’s dark and everyone has nicknames and tries to use fancy words for ordinary things… Oh my goodness. F3 is the Dead Poet’s Society!
