Men gathered in the gloom ready to see if an almost 62 year old can lead a solid beatdown. Except Gnarly Goat, who showed to offer support, but was nursing an achy back or side. Warmups appropriate for an old, injured Goat were offered and executed, but he chose to nurse the body so missed some of the fun and fitness – but he more than makes up for it other days.
The Thang
Warm Up – back and forth bent knee swings to loosen Goat’s, Q’s and other’s backs w/ stretches. Active hamstring stretches, IST, Toy Soldiers

Macbeth mentioned something about glutes and prison and the Q mentioned something that linked those two together – but we will keep this G rated

Thanks for showing gentlemen – I’m very glad that I can lead a decent beatdown as I approach the next trip around the sun. If you had told me 8 years ago that I would be in shape to do what we did, that I’d have the discipline to get out of bed at 4:40 and show up at 5:30 in 40 degrees to lead a workout, or that I would have the relationships I have thanks to F3 I probably would have scoffed – but all those are true. Ready for another trip around sun starting on Saturday! Just remember, you don’t always to get led in a workout by a Fool, but today you were led by an April Fool!!
Had I come out just for the one-liner this AM it would have been worth it but got way more than that! Awesome Q brother! DORA was tough! Happy Birthday Canuck!
Congratulations Canuck.
Appreciate the beat down. It was a good, and memorable one (referring to the prison comments)
