YHC and Chippy started early with a jump rope session to the punk rock streaming from my mobile.

By 5:30 five had assembled for instructions. After the stations were established, we got to work. Fists flying, sweat pouring, feet shuffling, spit spraying, to the sound of leather gloves thudding. After the second round of stations, Loogie and Haggis dropped the padded gloves and went for a sparring session. To be fair, Loogie only has one good arm and Haggis was able to exploit that large disadvantage. Towards the end Loogie did rally and put up a good defense against the Scottish Cyclone. See this, I jumped in for Round 2 hoping Loogie had tired out the beast. Not so much. I quickly got “acquainted” with the feeling of Haggis’s right glove squarely against my chest. After the bell round we smiled and tapped gloves. He won this round, but I’ll be back next week.

Kudos to Marlin and Loogie for posting despite nagging injuries. Thank you to Chipotle for bring the workout back and thanks to Haggis helping me learn to take a punch.

See you in the gloom. Aye!
