“I love Leg Day,” said everyone, ever

Event Date

Jul 31, 2024


4 pax posted at The Mighty Oak this a.m. for an advertised “good ol’ fashioned beatdown,” which for the most part ended up being, much to everyone’s delight, leg day.  Actually don’t know if they were really delighted, but I like to think they were.  Who doesn’t love leg day?  Plus, we want to run like Mays.  We can worry about hitting like Hayes another day. 

Matlock ran a short standard, “maybe a mile,” he reported.

Roadie came in on two wheels, but was parked before the clock hit 5:30.

Mosey around the parking lot with some high knees, buttkickers, and “awful lot of running” comments.

Circle up, disclaimer.  YHC welcomed the men to The Mighty Oak and was actually correct in saying that this time.

Moleskin

  • Thanks to the pax for joining YHC this am – appreciate it guys.  Haven’t Q’d a ton in 2024, and the creative juices aren’t really flowing, but hope you got what you wanted today.
  • Thanks to Estwing (who was absent – “traveling,” or maybe just skipping leg day?) for reaching out to YHC and asking for a Q / letting me lead the pax today.
  • We spoke at length about different liquid cocktails one can bathe nasty workout clothes in.  Roadie may have the solve there.
  • We lifted up Peart Plus’ co-worker and her family.
  • Thanks as always to Auto and Eeyore for the EH in June 2016 – I’m forever grateful.

Aye!
