There was no preblast but since I was already awake, I made my way down to the AO launch site, on time as far as you all know.
that said because there was no shovel flag, no sign of life except for a guy walking out of the parking lot that I didn’t immediately recognize. Did I miss something? Was this the end of wilderness (rumors)?
then Pillager, who I had seen at an earlier workout or 2, came back to the parking lot. Greetings and pleasantries aside, I went with an oldie but goodie out of the playbook, the RTR.
the Thang:
Mosey down parkway, stopping for pain station at each side street, and repeating on the way back.
i couldn’t tell you all the stations in order, but abs, upper body and legs were all thoroughly put through their paces. And yes, the JLo and THE BURPEE were included.
returned in time and thanks to Pillager, we were not left behind nor missed a chance to be accountable and meet someone new, even in this well seasoned location. This is the purpose, that even a “winding down” AO still adds value and brings men together to make ourselves better and grow our fellowship and faith.
hope all are getting their 2025 off to as good of a start.
humbly submitted 2 January 2025,
Jorel
