Up and down Gma- ouch!

The Pax slowly started to emerge from their warm urban chariots, gathering with mumblechatter, greetings, and handshakes.  The gloom was chilly at 32 degrees but not too bad for Feb.  All seemed ready for a variety packed beatdown.  Disclaimer stated, and we were off.

Warmup- catch up with our moseying resident foot shuffler.  One day we’ll rope him in.  #sadclown

Swing back by the chariots to pick up Funky Cold and Semigloss #alarmfail then down to the field.

COT

Naked Moleskine:

Joker emailed me last night  about how much Hill work I had planned.  I told him some…Up and down a few times.  My math on “a few” may have been slightly off.  Under promise and Over achieve.  Gma is one tough lady.  She’ll whip you into shape, fo sho.

Good thing we did the 400s before Gma.  The pax is fast.  Love to see us push each other out there and compete.  #ISI

Lots of mumble chatter from our favorite toasted morning pastry (PopTart).  So YHC invited him to lead a interested Ab exercise called the Can Opener.  Imagine somewhat of the famed diving board trick but on land, on your back.  Thanks PopTart.

Puddin’ was in short sleeves, a nice gray one I think, well, at least it was in the beginning.

The Pax didn’t seem to like the Shoulder presses with your partners legs….what was it?  Too awkward, too hard, what?

Any comments are welcomed….we had a great group this am.  Thanks for letting me lead, Header.

Announcements:  F3 5 year anniversary celebration on March 5, sign up online.  Also Joker is leading efforts for a cookout at Alexander Youth Network on Mar 5th as well.  Stay tuned for details.

Thanks for the beat down. I couldn’t help myself from the mumble chatter. I used humor to mask the pain from Gma. She is one tough lady. Thanks for the butt whoopin’ and taking me back to my high school track days. Is it me or am I a lot slower than I was at 18? I wonder why.
