MAY Edition of THE Horseshoe Reopens PAINinsula

It rained hard before, and it definitely rained hard after, but it only sprinkled for the May running of THE Horseshoe. Shaken was happy. Oh so happy.The Thang:Calf stretchesCotton Pickers X 10IST X 10Windmills X 10Jog to the base of the hillHorseshoe exercises, 20 each for five rounds going up and down the ladder for 100 totalCurb CDDsSquatsBackward stepping lungesPeter ParkersMericansJog to the fire station – Pledge of AllegianceJog back to the awnings at launch for rain cover for MARYLBCs X 20Pretzel Crunches X 10 each sideLow Flutters X 15Crunchy Frog X 10NAKED MAN MOLESKIN:1) Couldn’t reopen PAINinsula with anything other than THE Horseshoe2) And then there were 2 – after Coronavirus claiming the April Horseshoe, only 2 pax have done every Horseshoe this year – Stromboli and Outlaw. If they make it for all 11 now, a prize has been promised. Hmmm, what should it be?3) Cousin Eddie is young. And fast. And those 2 facts are related.4) Shaken is missing the pool, but was as eager as any beaver to do THE Horseshoe this morning. Why, I have no idea.5) Riverboat stayed with the main 5 of us chasing Cousin Eddie until lap 6 – then the threat of potentially being lapped pushed him to, well, leave the rest of us in the dust.6) Hollywood may have taken a little time off working out during Shelter at Home. I guarantee by the next Horseshoe, he will be crushing us as usual.7) Stromboli did not bring his running shoes, assuming the weather folks would be correct and THE Horseshoe would be rained out. Those shoes had no problem with the Crunchy Frog.As always, it was an Honor and Privilege to lead this group of men today. Aye!Outlaw
