My taste was acquired

The chill came back and 8 showed up for a run around the Sunbelt parking lot.

From the amphitheater at Kingsley we moseyed up to Sunbelt. At one end of the lot, we completed various upper and lower exercises that were written on my weinke. Running across the lot to the far end, we spent more time doing various upper and lower body exercises that were written on my weinke.

I gave Spike my weinke so I am going to fail to list the details of exactly what we performed.

There was a decent amount of mumblechatter that kept things just interesting enough that Super-G was able to hang. He did not stay for my motivational speech at the end and missed out on a good one. Ask me sometime about my two words for the last few years.

Old Bay was missed as his solar panels failed him this morning.
