“Don’t you feel bad they’re so far ahead?” – Pele

As always, an interesting morning at SOFA WIB.  We kept it simple today.  Running plus 3 exercises on repeat.  It was not easy.

Thang

Run to Lancer and Windyrush.  Right on Lancer.  Run to Olde Providence Rd (1 mi), stopping at each side street (7 in all) to complete:

10 hand release merkins
20 sumo squats
30 knee ups

Repeat on the way back, plus we threw in a bonus at the end of the route, thanks to the OP sign “It’s time to pay your dues”, which seemed like it was speaking to me.

Forgot the satellite watch, but several others had 3.6 miles total plus the 150 hand release merkins, 300 sumo squats, and 450 knee ups.  As intended, a full body beat down in only 45 minutes.

Quote of the day, and BB title, goes to Pele, speaking to Sundancer with such sincerity.  Love the attitude.  We’ll be at the same place next week.

YHC had a bit of a Costanza moment this morning.  Sundancer was apparently upset that we weren’t doing sumo jump squats, and therefore “half-assing it”, a comment that was mostly ignored, as we were finishing when he was arriving.  Only 5 minutes later the perfect reply came to mind.  I hate when that happens.  For the record, we will quit half-assing the exercises when you quit half-assing the runs.  #JerkStore

Swiper pulled me along, yet again, managing to talk through at least 85% of the workout.  He also led some gratuitous monkey humpers as we waited a bit on the six to run back to the AO.

Queen was strong out there.  I believe he was the first to join us back at Windyrush followed by Red Rocks.  Iron Mike wore the hoodie, and perhaps more surprisingly, kept it on.  Talkbox must have had on his Nash ninja shoes.  He almost snuck up on YHC in the last 100m, forcing an all out sprint to the cars.  Speaking of, Sundancer may have gotten a new one, which was not discussed at COT. I thought the “CoExist” and “Eat Local” stickers came with the car, no? Swiper’s car alarm didn’t go off, but we ran by his sister’s old house – one of many things I learned this morning.  Until next week…
