The Hula Hoop Was Fun . . . For a While!
All All MECA BackblastsAugust 30th, 2016
Nobody signed up to Q this morning’s workout so YHC, having been rejuvenated by a week of vacation in Colorado, decided to take charge. I just felt like running, so we did a lot of it.
Our warmup run yielded a great discovery: a hula hoop left in the back roundabout. Hell yeah! It sure makes running a lot more fun when you are chasing someone or something, and you run a little faster, too. So, we ran around the parking lot, as I spun the hula hoop in front of me and caught it as it rolled back towards me. I had no idea the ill fate the hula hoop would soon meet.

Baby Face and I made a game of tossing the hula hoop out in front and chasing after it during the runs up and down the hill, until I finally gave it up and left the hula hoop to Baby Face.
Long mosey over to Albemarle Road Middle School, still tossing the hula hoop out in front. Baby Face decided to see how high he could toss the hoop and still have it spin back to him. He even threw it over some telephone wires hanging over the drive. That’s about when the hula hoop left our presence. An poorly executed toss by Baby Face sent the hoop to the top of the covered walkway where it rolled for a bit before coming to rest out of our reach. Oh well, guess we made a donation to the school. Some maintenance person down the road will have to get it down.
