We had a great crew at Gladiator this morning. I got to see a bunch of guys I’ve been missing because I’ve chosen the dark side (i.e. running workouts). This is a great AO and if you haven’t Q’d here in a while you’re missing out. Everyone is eager, friendly, and ready to work. 

Had 2 FNG’s today…one of which was there for his 2nd workout which meant a naming. Not sure if it’s because we were meeting at a church or if guys in this circle are just nicer these days. But FNG-2 told a story about his mom calling out to a group of women asking if there were any single ladies for her son. It was then declared that his F3 name would clearly be Beyoncé….but all this happened at a softball game so someone offered Fast Pitch as an alternative. I see this as a great kindness, but that may be because I’m still bitter than I’m named Tammy Faye. Where was this kindness when Toxic was declaring my Tammy Faye? I guess I gotta move on, but we all know I won’t.

Here’s what happened before all that.
