Moleskine:

JRR Tolkien did something nasty to his ankle, so pax got a substitute Q today.  The previous day’s Brave was brutal on the arms & back so we did more running than is typical at Stonehenge, but visiting the hidden park was worth it.  The last time YHC took a workout to this park, we attempted The Murph, and found that the 5x10x15 ratio worked best.  This workout was meant to be Murph training.  Mumblechatter was kept to a minimum until the back-to-back merkins at the end. YHC’s shoulders were smoked by the end.  Pax did a great job at staying together, especially since we covered 3.7miles.  For those working on the Merkin/Pullup Challenge, we also met our quota.  Thanks to Tolkien and Wild Turkey for the opportunity to lead.
