BushHolePit. Best if used on or before 08/13/25.

17 men, 3 Ruckers and 14 of The Ungovernable, came to BushHolePit to celebrate National Left-Handers Day. Or just to workout. Whichever.

WARMUP:
Like we needed it warmer out there. But we did do a little moseying, windmills, mountain climbers, etc.
THE THANG:
We went the long way around the school (is there a short way?) stopping for some things along the way. Some Dora, some bear crawls, dips, step-ups, muscle ups, etc. You know what we DIDN’T stop for? Pull-ups? Why? Because the AO got all bougie and walled them off from us peasants. Oh well. I would elaborate on this mornings festivities, but I made no weinke and I am not smart enough to recall all the things.

All you need to know is Birdcage was there and you probably weren’t, so you missed out. Seriously, the guy is hilarious. Love him.

Ok, back to life.
MARY: No chicks.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter.

Billy Madison Loop

6 of us dodged puddles and covered over 4 miles this morning. Here was what YHC dubbed the “Billy Madison” route:

– Circle Doby’s Bridge Elementary, up Neff Court
– Take the rocky path up and over Doby’s Bridge to and through Dominion Bridge
– Venture down Whites Rd, left at the Forest Creek Middle basketball courts, around the school, down to the track and back up and over Whites Rd again
– Circle Catawba Ridge High School, back over Whites Rd, through Dominion Bridge (up hill this time) and back to COT
– 4.16 miles total

NMM
When we all arrived this morning, it was pouring – like, you cannot see the road pouring. I think we all thought the worst about what was to come. Funny thing though, at 5:13 the rain stopped and we stepped off. We made the situation much worse in our minds than what was reality. There’s a lesson there. Maybe the thing you are putting off isn’t as bad as you think it is. Maybe you should just step off and get started. Or maybe it was just happenstance. Maybe.

Aye!
