Moleskin:
- Shoe tried to undermine the Pax count for this workout. But the faithful saw through it and posted anyway.
- No promises were made about no running and no burpees. We knew running (2.0 miles,) and we knew burpees (71) today.
- Scrappy, being the over-achiever we all know him to be, hit Metallica’s True Grit, then posted for BRP. Done in true Scrappy form, as you would expect.
- Moses offered in response to the pre-blast, to take over upon burn-out. Truth-be-told, YHC considered it during the back 40 uphill mosey. But then pride took over; we finish that which we start.
- Jethro physically threatened YHC at coffee-teria, but didn’t quite have the stamina to follow through. (Lucky for me.) Has anyone ever gone to a doctor due to be assaulted by a doctor?
- Poor Hippie was recovering from his own assault injuries via his carpet installer. Lucky he wasn’t the urgent care attendant as well.
- Waffle House decided ¾ of the way through he had to leave early. Uh-huh. Umm, me too.
- Omega, you still owe us SSH @ 59 by the way. Being late in the DR may be acceptable, but you’re back in The States now!
- Thanks to Toxic for the wheel-barrow/burpee challenge. It would not have happened if not for your recollection. It sucked this time too.
- Holliday and Boar Hog were quiet today. Rare for Holliday, that guy loves the mumble-chatter. Not so true for BH, aside from the occasional groan and dog heeling.
- Land Line had to decide this morning where he would be pushed the most. I know that’s where he finds his motivation. Thanks for making the right decision.
- Jersey Boy was NOT a creepy dad this week. That’s one week in a row. Keep it up!
- In all seriousness, thank you gents for posting. It’s a lot more fun with fellas like you.
