The gloom was gloomy and the pax were paxy. So we freaking launched on the #1 day of the week (well, it’s a 7-way tie for first place).

After a warmup lap and the usual suspects of warmup exercises, we lined up on the goal line of the field.

• Sprint to 50 yd line, do 50 merkins.
• Sprint to goal line, do 5 burpees.
• Sprint to 40 yd line, do 40 merkins.
• Sprint to goal line, do 5 burpees.
• 30, 20, 10… you get the idea

There was some griping. Almost as if starting off with 150 merkins and 25 burpees between sprints was not Ludicrous, but all of our skinny runner arms survived and are better for it.

Cool down 2 laps. Holy crap, YHCs knee acted up. Better to be smart and fight another day. YHC bowed out to do some block work while the rest of the pax crushed the following track work:

• Sprint the straightaways, recover on the curves. 1 mile
• Sprint a half loop, recover a half loop. 1 mile

Finish up with Mary

Moleskin

I was extremely excited to be Q ing after a bit of a hiatus. Even when the knee acted up mid-day yesterday I couldn’t imagine a world where I would not show up. Thanks to the pax for being understanding.

• Enron is 40 and he is a man.
• Stray ran fast, turned 40, got a new hip, then ran fast again.
• Burgoo is 50ish but looks like he’s 40.
• Tantrum’s hair was in 40 different directions.
• AM-PM was only 40 seconds late, but made up for it with speed.
• Drebin something about 40 cause I can’t think of any more 40-related things to say.

Seriously though, guys were flying. It’s awesome to see the progress out of each and every one of these 6 dudes. 40 out of 40 stars, would do again.
