Lost in Running Translation

WARMUP: No warmup. Runners don’t need a warmup. They just start running ??‍♂️
THE THANG: Ran between 4.4 to 5 miles. NASA and Cohiba got lost on the way back which created us running close to 5 miles. The original route was lost in translation by Vuvuzela.
MARY: Runners don’t know who Mary is.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter
COT: Prayers and Praises

What’s in the Box?

WARMUP: Windmills, MNC, world’s greatest stretch and merkins
THE THANG: Carry our big bells to the far side of the parking lot, found a box full of terrible exercises and carries such as snatches, curls, man makers and lots more. We (I) decided on a 15 count and a nice loop to mosey around after each exercise. Eventually construction workers started showing up and for our sobriety we moved to another location and finished what we started.
MARY: I started, then Bam Bam practiced calling cadence and finally Skipper wouldn’t stop until 0600
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Lots of opportunities to traverse great distances with your two feet for good purposes.
COT: You betcha.

My verse for the day to meditate on is…

“Let us not get tired of doing good, for we will reap at the proper time if we don’t give up.”

With that, The Thrill is gone!

What she said

WARMUP:
THE THANG: 10+3 got Hived as I visited the DMZ and gave a KB lesson.
– <@U05RN7GSDLH> , <@U0904HV02BY> , and <@U05K5D10AG6> rucked it out. I believe that most of the world’s problems got solved, but as capitalists, you’ll have to pay to find out the answers.
– <@U03B9G9BXJM> came dressed for a chilly golf outing, complete with puffy jacket. Guys gave him a lot of crap, but they don’t have sensitive nipples, so they don’t get it.
– <@UGU3XR5RP> was in typical form. That means it was a non-stop stream of working hard at both the exercises and giving me a hard time.
– <@U087NCUTMPT> has HCed to bringing an additional 50 lb KB to the Hive from now on for those who are interested. So… no one.
– <@U19FA0Q8Z> is a grown-ass man. NOT a grown ass-man. Hyphens matter.
– <@UGYDCTRST> gave me a normal fist bump at the end, and after checking his temp (rectally, of course) to make sure he wasn’t ill, he recognized where he went off the rails and gave me the normal Slash treatment.
– <@U5DBBKTE0> was the standard and helped us with our form. That was the focus this morning, doing the right things the right way. When that’s the theme, he’s the go to.
– <@U0A25GTDDEJ> has his foot on the accelerator. But he’s not redlining yet. He wins the Helmet award for my favorite guy that had his VQ this week at Ring of Badgers (Fire).
– <@U06P97NSX17> was the sole representative from the Gaggle of Degenerates. Especially since the King of the Degenerates (<@USBP08L1G>) was occupied elsewhere.
– <@U5DKASDQU> was the WarDaddy today (see previous bullet as to why). On a side note, his new retirement gig is developing lesson plans for a new Minnesota Quality Learing Center franchise he’s opening on the WestSide.

This report is true and is able to be copied and pasted into the /slackblast by any man who wants those stats bumped up.

Minnow Party

Lots of people showed up, unfortunately they got me on Q. Original plan was to run with merkins to Riverview elementary school, but with so many pax I decided to stay local. Plan was to run around town with Jack Webb. We began with five merkins and twenty overhead claps. Twelve stops around town increasing the rep counts by one and four respectively. Added some additional exercises (Squats, lunges, calf raises) while we waited for the six to arrive.
Total count: 126 merkins, 504 overhead claps.
we had time for a pairing sprint up the Massey hill.
