AO: Diablo
Q: Gump Got Gumption
PAX: Gump Got Gumption, Chad Bolick-Diamond Dave, HayHay, APPleSauce FNGs: None
COUNT: 4
WARMUP: With Plank being a no-show – granted he has to come from Micronesia to post at Diablo – we went with the tried and true Round Robin.
An early word of caution went out – 1. Attendee was injured for good cause (50k) 2. Attendee was injured for stupid reasons (216 ssh and playing football at the beach for 3 days) 3. Attendee is a self-described fatty who like the author was quite proud to live in the “husky” section as a kid 4. Attendee showed up ready to go and to hear these so-called sob stories.
Hearing this – Site Q/attendee 1 made the call we shan’t be voyaging far from home today in our journeys.
He also then regaled the quartet with stories of surprisingly not 💩 himself in the 50k (known to need a porta potty on a prerun) and hitting up aid stations for some pickle juice only to be told said juice had already been drained dry BUT there was the potential for some olive juice to be had. He ended up drinking said juice from an individual pringles can that got dumped for its holding properties. I wonder if it was sour cream onion, original or some cheddar variety originally. Either way our man drank the “blood colored piss” and was able to stave off the cramps to the finish.
Oh yeah to the warmup! Included ATTs, imperial walkers, humpees, dips (hands going both ways – Gump always likes to do it backwards), side stars and surely something else (author’s gloves started smelling at this point – well always….but reminded of last week’s mysterious smell only HayHay could smell. Maybe it wasn’t his ass but my gloves? I offered that up multiple times but each time it was presumed it could not be them alone).
THE THANG: The Thang included a trip around the square with merkins on corners, lunges, GT squats, incline and decline merkins assorted 5 count merkins, and a good bit of Mary thrown in including W’s (? – we assumed we each were in position to give birth), LBCs, something called boxcutters 😉 (we determined would be funny to call those for a whole beatdown with a FNG present), flutterkicks, side crunches and probably some other stuff in there. MARY: What happened when Mary had a little lamb? The doctor fainted. ANNOUNCEMENTS: olive juice > pickle juice
COT:impromptu- God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.
So much of our life’s stresses come from that friction of trying to figure out how far we can exert our control. It’s a struggle but we should strive to leave more of it in gods hands and seek out the peace of knowing he has it either way.
