I had plans to run to the stadium – but wasn't sure that would work when I looked at the forecast this afternoon. 100% chance of rain at 7:00. As I drove to the Green – I began to formulate Plan B – becasue the forecast was correct. Probably too much of a mess to climb the stadium – so I figured DUMC and Sandbags would give us a chance to duck under cover, if we wanted to.
I wasn't sure what to expect as I pulled in. Stalker and The Duke were already on the library porch, and Hipster wasn't far behind.
Stalker tried to delay the launch by giving us all a lesson in why we shouldn't be murdering our Crepe Myrtles – but at 7:00 we cut the arbor talk short – and began the workout.
Warmorama – SSH, IST, Windmill, Mountain Climbers, Cotton Pickers – let's mosey to DUMC and grab a sandbag.
The Thang –
We crossed the parking lot and set up shop under the drive-thru lane.
We did a lot of Sand Bag exercises – only stopping every so often to take a lap around the parking lot in the downpour.
At one point – 2 nice ladies came out of the church and said that we were brave, or stupid, probably they said stupid.
Because my original plan was scrapped due to the weather – I was making things up on the fly – and trying to stay one step ahead of the PAX. Although the conditions weren't ideal for it – throwing in the parking lot laps – took the pressure of thinking up the next exercise off of YHC.
Put the bags back – mosey back to the Green.
No cover yet – find a spot on the wall for dips.
Now find cover.
Mary –
Some of the best Mary exercises you ever did see.

Soaked to the Bone Moleskine
– Stalker said we were short of 45 minutes and he was going to tell on me – to DUVALL. Please!!
– Good group, and it was fun to splash in puddles like we were kids. Adult Recess.
– My schedule – kids basketball, work and travel – have had me missing Sweatshop – hope this is the start of getting back to REGULAR status – although TINY has the Thursday Q and he's already talking smack. Maybe I start REGULAR status next Tuesday.
– We prayed for a family from Stalker's church that lost a child – Baby Hope. We prayed for guidance for The Duke's son who is working to find some direction – something we could all probably use a little more of.
– We missed Hipster at Summit for a post workout brewski – the rest of has had one and had a good discussion.
– Always and honor and a pleasure to be with you fine men.
Peace,
Holiday
