Balls (as in Coors Light party balls) Room

Leave a comment

I warned a select group that we would be “running”, in fact, I called it speed(ish) training. As we arrived and the wind was whipping through, I realized “sprints” on the football field were not in the cards for this young crowd.

On to plan B

Mosey around the school and down towards the gym, too cold, back up the hill, we tucked ourselves in against the building and did our token warm ups, I’m sure they were spectacular.

Mosey on down to the other school (less windy).

We did some exercises and ran a bunch, some bear crawl, lots of squats, a few merkins. Ran some more. Calf raises. Ran some more.

Then came the Burpees, both of them, a total of 12 for the group, a few were questionable, Re: form. Claps were completed on 50% of them.

When you Q and it is cold out, keep the PAX warm, running would be the preference, as opposed to constant hugging, but you do you.

we logged 2.67 miles, officially, that is 3-ish or “3” depending on your math skills.

Chatter was had, primarily topics were Black Label, Stroh’s, Coors Light Party Balls, Schlitz, Old Milwaukee, Meister Brau, PBR (was it always a craft beer?), Red, White & Blue, etc, etc.

Short Sale was a SC, but showed
Twister did not, some BS about “getting miles”
Consul did not even pretend he was on the invited text group
DOJO ran with Bass
Bass led the pack
Anchorman did the work after realizing this was not SlowBurn
Boogie Down is a stellar site Q

I heard it, and can’t unhear it … my Q was referred to as “a black diamond for old guys”

I appreciate the fill-in opportunity … or maybe … thanks for asking, if I came to mind in the top 10, I’m doing good.

Looks like we made it,

YHC is coming off of a 2 week illness and was thankful to be well enough to Q today. The workout was truly moderate which provided ample opportunity for mumble chatter and the Pax didn’t disappoint. It’s always a good time with these guys and perfect F3 weather this morning was icing on the cake. @CakeBoss and @BarryManilow rolled in from their run at exactly the right time. Well done, gentlemen! Thanks for the Q spot, @Boogie!
