4 pax showed up on time-ish for an adventure, though this time it was a challenge for everyone in body and mind.
the Thang:
mosey to the front of the school, and circle up for warmups:
SSH x 10
Merkins x 10
squats x 10
Martikas x 10
YHC then laid out the initial plan for the main event (with Bluetooth speaker and deck of cards)…
Q plays a song from shuffled Amazon Music library. If pax guesses song or artist, we run a lap; if guess is incorrect, pax pulls a card and exercises based on suit and number on card. Here’s the results with notes as needed.
Depeche Mode – Blasphemous Rumours – pax incorrect (vandelay made a solid guess of NIN)
Grateful Dead – Uncle John’s Band – pax incorrect (Turnpike almost got it)
Grateful Dead – Casey Jones – pax correct (Turnpike got it on the first note)
Pixies – La La Love You – pax incorrect
Oasis – Cast No Shadow – pax incorrect (Tantrum retracted a correct guess due to Noel singing lead instead of Liam)
Afrika Bambaataa- Planet Rock – pax incorrect (Grandmaster Flash was close but wrong)
Bohemian Rhapsody – Queen- pax correct
Oasis – Shakermaker – pax correct (Tantrum could not be fooled this time)
Avett Brothers – It Goes On and On – pax incorrect (Turnpike looked hurt he missed this one)
LA Guns – Until I Get You – pax incorrect (Hanoi Rocks cover, no chance on this one. YHC wanted exposure to a great 80s band with a tragic story)
Janes Addiction – City – pax correct (really helpful when the song starts with, “this song is called City”)
Depeche Mode – Pleasure, Little Treasure – pax correct
Nine Inch Nails – Mr Self Destruct – Pax correct (Vandelay got it this time)
The Clash – This is Radio Clash – pax correct (see City above)
The Replacements – My Little Problem (ft. johnette from Concrete Blonde) – pax incorrect (though Turnpike knows of Concrete Blonde)
REM – Country Feedback – pax correct
The Chicks – Lullaby – pax incorrect
Metallica – The Judas Kiss – pax correct (turned into lap long discussion on Metallica, definitely Pax wheelhouse)
Return to Launch after packing up the goodies.
Moleskine:
this is a keeper workout. We could have gone another hour. I had 2.2 miles, so light on the run, heavy on the fun.
Tantrum texted me after to confirm an earlier wrong guess. This games stays with you.
prayers for the moms, etc.
thanks to Vandelay for having an open Monday and we didn’t have to Murph, it was pointed out that some want to Murph.
