Moleskine:
- The fun started this morning when a tomato rolled up and joined the group with her yoga mat. #Awkward Header, being the diplomatic person he is, started off saying good morning. It was clear his “beat around the awkward bush” tactic was not working, so YHC bluntly asked her which workout she was there for. I’ve never been accused of being tactful nor eloquent. Turns out she was looking for the ladies class at Davie. Whew! Crisis avoided.
- Then two tomatoes ran by COP right as I was calling Hillbillies. Quick audible to monkey jumpers was overruled. The tomatoes immediately left the track when we arrived. #WasItSomethingWeSaid
- You know your workout is being audited when Tiger Rag and Joker are the first to arrive.
- This was YHC’s first Q in 7 months. It felt great to lead the group. I got to be honest though, I was worried about smoking myself. I was even heckled by @CheeseCurd about that, and he conveniently didn’t show up. #FIAwife
- I don’t think the group was too fond of the burpee ladder out of the gate, but @PuddinPop was grateful they were all two legged. Thanks for the idea Pop.
- I know the TOL is never fun, but it seemed appropriate on a nice cool Fall morning.
- @TurkeyLeg tracked down and ran at least half the pax off the track during the runs. He was flying!
- Great to see some new faces and #Kotters (at least at DV) to @SaltLick.
Announcements:
- Mud-run (10/4) signups have been extended. Contact @Mermaid if interested.
- 3rd F workout Aftermath Wednesdays at Starbucks in Piper Glen

I gotta admit, I kind of froze when the woman showed up. All I saw was big hair and a yoga mat, and I could tell by the look on TR’s face that there was about to be a showdown at the OK Corral. I like to think I can handle situations like this with diplomacy, but when she walked straight at us I was like a deer in the headlights. You gotta give her credit for waltzing right up to a group of dudes; but then again, maybe I should be offended that in her mind she was thinking – “YES, these guys look like they are here for Diane’s yoga class. I MUST be in the right place.”
Man, those burpees looked tough! I almost felt bad not doing them. And here is my new list of refusenik exercises – Turkish Get Ups [with or without brick]; Burpees; Balls to the Wall; Partner Carry [unless it’s Turkey Leg!]; Monkey Humper [unless there is some sort of lunar eclipse and I don’t have to see anyone else in motion]; Protractor [anything above 45-degrees]; Arm Circles. I think it’s just a rebellious phase I’m going through; I might grow out of it.
