Man-sized yoga mat
It’s nice to see the regular guys at Gumby, but also nice when we get some site FNGs. EarlyBird was EH’d by Booyah, and got some pre intel so that he came with his own mat. Fireman Ed asked me about it yesterday at #F3Skunkworks, so came totally unprepared. Q fail. I’ll do a 10 Pigeon penance. So did he suffer on the concrete? share a mat? bail out?
Read on to find out.

So, after half-a-year, YHC forgets that some guys need additional intel to know what to expect at Gumby. Like, “Bring a mat.” So when I was telling Fireman Ed to post at Gumby yesterday after a particularly unsavory Bulldog beatdown, I just said where and when. Didn’t tell him to bring a mat. But I put it in the reminder tweet. Didn’t help. He showed up ready for anything, except an unforgiving concrete floor. Fortunately for everyone (especially Fireman Ed), High Tide travels with a 4X8 roll of high-density foam, like you’d see on the garage floor in front of a workbench. (Back story: it’s for his parking lot TGUs.) Anyway, with crisis averted, and Q fail rescued by co-site-Q, the workout went well. EarlyBird brought the M’s mat. (T-claps for asking the right people the right questions.)
Sign Up Genius is ready for you to Q. Please grab a date and let me or High Tide know if you have questions or want help with the Weinke (you don’t want my help on the music). Link: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0f4dafae28aa8-gumby
T-CLAPS TO JAILBREAK – signed up this morning before I could get this Back Blast out!

It’d be a BIG yoga mat, but man, do I love that mat. I bought it to save my driveway from KB chipping, but I soon discovered how awesome it is for Turkish Getups, esp on some of the rougher parking lots we frequent (like at Meathead). It’s a 4′ x 8′ gym mat that I bought at Wal-Mart for about $20. I keep it in my Jeep, so remind me to let you see it next time.
Good lead today, Swiss Miss. I always appreciate the stretching.
Glad to see two site FNGs today. Early Bird, enjoyed your company on the pre-run. Fireman Ed, glad you posted and persevered despite the lack of intel (indoors, no mat). Hopefully the gym mat served you well, just don’t get too comfortable with it (which is the same thing I’d say about your shiny new trophy…). Haha…
Speaking of Fireman Ed, does he get credit for the pre-merkins he was doing in the parking lot? He was spotted getting pumped as Early Bird and YHC were finishing up their pre-run.
