Double E Special

Date: 2023-08-09 AO: wamrap Q: Orange Whip PAX: rachel, Alf, Horsehead, Orange Whip, double_e, poptart FNGs: None COUNT: 6 EE special in the residential area. With BRR season upon us I decided to take us on a longer run option and skip the deck. All got 4+ in with 4 rounds of Mike Tyson’s, Split Legs, Sit Ups, Sister MCs with a burpee counter at the bottom of the hill.
Lots of females clinging to their schnoodles, doodles and poodles this morning as we ran by. Most clung even tighter whenever Pop Tart ran by. One dude in scrubs reached into his murse to find his pepper spray (probably).
Rachel won. Again.
Double E and Horsehead were talking every time I ran by them, apparently about tracking dog poop around the house or something.
F3 watch party for the Elon Musk/Zuck fight at OT’s house.
Announcements: None
COT – prayers went up for McGee’s son Ford who is dealing with seizures from meningitis. Continue praying for his family and for quick healing & for the doctors overseeing him 🙏🙏🙏
