- Q was rusty and got off track on his counting on SSH’s so all exercises were performed to 21. There is nothing more profound behind the number than that.
- Hospital Visitor Deck has been dubbed the “Meat Grinder”. The ramps are longer and a bit more steep than those in “The Box”. I believe the name was Deertick’s idea.
- Nails bailed on Mary – nature called.
- We put in 2.87 miles of hill work this morning. In my book that translates to about 4 miles of running on level ground. Well, at least it felt like it.
VOCABULARY WORDS OF THE DAY
Cantorre:As in “to pull”, by unassing the #Fartsack, looking out the window at the rain and jumping right back in the #Fartsack instead of #Posting. Can also mean (generally) allowing a distant self-proclaimed expert to dictate your actions locally. Jim Cantorre may be a Doppler expert, but he ain’t an expert on how much rain is too much rain.
Elvis (as in, to pull):Leaving the #PAX during a workout to find a perma or porta potty. Related but not identical to the #IrishGoodbye. (somebody pulled an Elvis today) Had to post to know.
As always, it was my privilege,
