Remembering the “Old Days”
All All MECA BackblastsFebruary 18th, 2016
9 brave enjoyed a tour through the old turf at the middle school on a mild 38 deg morning. The only thing I felt sentimental about was my pecks that are still sore from Stretchy’s merkin pyramid on Tuesday. So off we go with a brief disclaimer.

- Nice job men. The “Respects” almost took the majority this morning with 4 of the 9 in the 50+ club. It is always my honor to lead you and I had a great time this morning. I hope you all got what you wanted this morning in the gloom. I got more than I bargained for from someone near me during Mary. Man, the air was foul!
- Thanks for the visit Pharaoh!

Also, don’t forget about the Rolling Stone Cruise on Wednesday, same time, same channel. Speaking of Batman, I haven’t heard any good Chuck Norris jokes. Obvious connection if you’re inside my head.
Thanks Sparknut, always good to go back to the old stomping grounds. Was good to practice the PFT situps. I have a few memorable workouts from the old place: (1) Waterboy’s virgin Q Sharknado around the front of the school (2) Mattress King (who?) had exercises on little pieces of paper in a container at the curve at the driveway and we started from the muscle up wall, ran to container, fetched paper/exercise, ran back and announced exercise (3) Law Dog’s Chelsea (4) Kato’s stand up on your toes for the whole workout, doing lunges, squats and other assorted painful exercises.
The muscle up wall was perilously close to Jerry’s world. Glad to see us taking back our domain. Today seemed hard, I think yesterday’s Cruise took something out of me. Best excuse I got. Thanks for the lead, Sparknut, always know you are going to bring it.
Until next time.
