Slow is Smooth, Smooth is Fast

WARMUP: Yes, it was cold and these bones don’t move without waking up the muscles and joints first.
THE THANG: BassO posted the morning after eye surgery with a plan to get some fellowship at the start and finish and walk the school campus solo in between due to an activity restriction from his doc. His plan became the perfect timing mechanism as the other 5 worked in short bursts interspersed with periods of catching up to BassO on the move. We did lots of core, lots of Moroccan Night Clubs, a sequence on the benches, and a series on the picnic tables as we traversed campus. Along the way we swapped experience and wisdom around the benefits of slowing down even as the season, the economy, and the world in general send us messages to speed up. Sawdust was a man of wisdom and humor throughout:
1. From one of his military leaders: ” Slow is smooth and smooth is fast”
2. He researched the proper form of Moroccan Night Clubs while interacting with a dual citizen from Morocco last week.
3. He skillfully pointed out that the planet in the sky Tater was asking about was “Your Anus”. Could there be a better way to start a dark, still, cold Tuesday morning?
MARY: Yes, we wore her out!
COT: Read your newsletter, then show up somewhere outside the Gloom!

Thanks for the invite Boogied Down and for keeping The Ballroom hot!

The Comforts of Home

WARMUP: Yes
THE THANG: We moseyed to parking lots across the road as well as Lowes, strip center and other glorious spots proximate to Slow Burn’s Shovel Flag, stopping along the way for a feast of derkins, lunges, bear crawls and other standard fare. The peak of the festivities involved a round robin where each pax picked an exercise then called cadence for the # of reps that matched the # of years he’s been posting. Yes, Twister’s portion was heard in Tega Cay.
MARY: Yes
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Xmas party, Clave Boss, and more!
COT: It felt great to be back in the Gloom after 8 nights DR for work, experiencing the joys of a weekend kickoff with the Slow Burn spirit. And that spirit remains strong thanks to leadership from Peach Stand. Thanks for the Q stick!

50 for 50

WARMUP: Yes, some of the usual
THE THANG: A circle of 5 stations of 10 reps each with bell. after each station we traveled to the center point and back in varying modes (lunges, bear crawls, etc). Total of 50 reps per circuit represented 50 yrs of pain as a Tecas Rangers fan, heading into Wolrd Series game 1 later on 10/27.

we made it through 4+ circuits.

NOTE: this is posted 10 days later and Rangers are champs!!

COT: Thanks to pax for posting to only my 2nd KB Q. Good to connect with new faces Liberty Bibberty, Wooden Leg and Rubber Ducky and to see Rolloff back out in the Gloom.

thanks for the Q stick Happy Hour. you were missed!
