NMM:
- @Schedule C (and others, sing out in the comments) great work on the mumble chatter, it kept me on my toes and lightened the mood.
- @Starsky thanks for the BS call when I called the second Indian Run #missionaccomplished. Why were you surprised when you gave a suggestion during Mary and then had to count it?
- More running than usual but the Mud Run will be here soon, just getting ready.
- @Solo Cup H/T on the 2 miles before the workout this morning.
- Welcome to Chris and Steven great work out there today.
- Cobains on my slack at explaining some of the exercises for the FNGs.
- There is something that Chaos might have wanted to say but I can’t think of it right now.
- Definitely humbling to lead the group but Great fun as always.
Nice lead bud. 9 (ish) weeks out from the Mud Run… it’s time for me to step up my game. Just about passed out there after the first round of BTW/Bear Crawls
Great lead, Oz. Way to keep us guessing on the Jack Webb count, and in bringing out the…uh…best in Schedule C. Just remember, we all respect the Q, we just don’t have to like the Q….
@Oz, You mentioned that you forgot to take notes on everything I brought up during the workout. I’ve listed them here as well as adding in some items that we didn’t realize were issues during the workout:
1. Dirt on the field.
There was dirt on the field AND we had to do hand-release merkins in it. My shirt and gloves got dirty. Next time lets move the hand-release merkins to an area on the outer edge of the field. The dirt seemed to be in the middle of the field. Craziness.
2. Grass is wet in the mornings.
My gloves and feet got REALLY wet running in the grass. Lets concentrate on keeping the exercises on the pavement. Add moisture to the dirt and you get… MUD.
3. Pavement has rocks.
I didn’t complain about this (I didn’t want to seem like I was “that” guy) but I heard several pax mentioning there were rocks on the pavement. I personally did not see a rock.
4. Roads have cars.
We encountered several cars this morning. Those are VERY dangerous.
5. BUGS
There were bugs on the pavement during Mary. Now, I thought bugs were only in the dirt (and grass, see above notes) but they followed us to the pavement. What makes this worse is that we didn’t know what KIND of bug it was. That could have been VERY dangerous.
While this isn’t an exhaustive list it does provide a comprehensive overall look at some of the issues “we” had this morning.

Really, this was a killer workout this morning. I was sucking wind most of the time. You did a great job leading. I just wanted to lighten things up a bit with the #mumblechatter.
Thanks Bud. I’ll keep this list with me and see what I can do about some of the issues.
Oz, never mind the rest in between. Did you breeth? Nice lead, especially the merkin Indian runs.
