Pre
Bismark slacked a confirmation of Twin’s absence from his scheduled Q of infinity Thursday evening. Though a lively game of rochambeau broke out to find a replacement, the pax knew that it would end up in a groupie Q.
At 5:15, Hanger flew in on two wheels, as usual, almost running over Bismark (who was in his normal position after running 14 miles to get there) and the other pax.
Thing
Spokes took the lead for the warmup:
- SSH x 15
- Imperial Stormtroopers x 15
- Humpies x 10 (at MAXIMUM EFFORT!)
- Hairy Rockettes x 10
- Windmills x 10
PBR, not wanting to start the run going up a hill, took the lead for leg#1 of the workout: From Powell rd parking lot to bottom the library hill; 20 merkins. PBR tried to engage in conversation, but Hanger was already hanging on for dear life, as the pace was fast (and it never seemed to slow)
Hanger, mad to have to wear a shirt, took the next section and forced the pax up the hill to show his anger. Leg #2: up the library hill, around the parking lot, down to Walgreens, past tractor supply, and into the Kimbrell’s paking lot. Stopping several times along the way:
- Squats x 20 OYO
- Merkins with a arm raises x 20 OYO
- Squat kicks x 20 OYO
- LBC x 20 in cadence (perfectly called!)
- Squat thrust with a pushup x 10 OYO
- Burpee x 5 OYO
Babyface, showing off his long legged galloping gait, took leg #3: past the sadly closed fish hut, around the waffle house and the hotel, past the entrance to the greenway, then back to said entrance of the greenway:
- pull-ups on the fence x 10
- incline merkins (with incredible ROM) x 10
Back to the bottom of Library hill. Spokes worked to match Babyface’s stride, which made the pace even faster, which agitated the pax .
- some other exercise I was too tired to remember
Bismark, still mad he couldn’t remain seated for the entire workout, took, leg #4: toward the AO, but making a surprising LEFT turn toward the Presbyterian Church that has a VERY HARD asphalt parking lot where we did big boy sit-ups. Averse to the greenway for some reason, he then took us to Beverly Circle to Bernie up to the house for sale, and repeato, but this time up to the two mailboxes–I wish I had more information about this stop, but all the pax but Spokes gave up following as soon as we saw Bismark already coming down. Back to the AO on Pennell St, avoiding a car that only gave us two and a half of the required three feet.
Some of the more adventurous pax utilized the one minute in which we were early to continue running, while the smarter pax went ahead and turned off their garmins.
Post
Babyface asked for prayers regarding a ne’er do well family member. Friar, going against all of his pastor instincts, led what may have been the shortest prayer ever. Hanger asked for strength in watching 2.0 Cannonball’s “Army Show” videos which are only getting longer with each episode.
Moleskine:
- Adam Sandler movies are fun. Is it more fun to say “you can do it!” or to say “You suck!”?
- That’s like 2 out of 30 tries in which Hanger got a cadence right
- Dr Bowen is selling his THE Ohio State University mural in his basement. The rest of the house is thrown in.
- When Lenoir can support a fried fish spot, that’s when we’ll know we’ve made it as a city.
- The house on Beverly is on sale for, like, a million dollars. It’ll sell for more.
- The housing market is only going up. It will never drop. Inflation is awesome. Interest rates will remain the same forever.
- ACKSHULLY, the Fed will raise them nine times in the next two weeks (Ron Paul 2008 bumper sticker here) and the economy will crater and we’ll all be eating beans out of a can by Independence Day.
- But, which Independence Day???
