How I saw it….
First morning for Midwood in low 20’s….figured numbers would be low as these guys haven’t had time to purchase their organic hand moisturizer from Healthy Home Market..heard from a lot of fartsackers afterwards that said it was just “too cold”.. It’s going to be a challenge to keep this going through the next couple of months…if the workout in Midwood is something you value, then make an effort to post and bring people. My expectation is that when Spring comes, this thing explodes.
Matlock ran 5 miles prior to the workout and delivered the most cutting, yet brutally honest quote of the day…”I figured a Freeloader Q wouldn’t have much running”….and true to form, YHC is still on the IR battling another old man injury–we pounded out a blistering 0.8 miles…
Fishwrap was first to arrive making his first return to Midwood. While YHC would have rather tried to go knock out 9-10 miles during the hour with you, hope the workout left you with something other than cold hands. He said he posted because he was worried I’d be by myself. #MuchoAppreciation You really are an inspiration. Whenever I am reaching for my 3rd donut, I feel a bit guilty.
No FNG’s this week, but we did get Hasselhoff back. He’s been on the non-running circuit so was pleased with the offering.
It is nice to see a good core of regulars here. Joe College and Sludge continue to post and it looks like they are getting used to the nonsense we dole out every Saturday. Looking forward to them hitting some additional workouts sometime. Pipeline…he’s the guy that Dredd confuses as Checkpoint. Which, isn’t far off given their less than hoops stature and more importantly, their drive to give. Pipeline is partnering with Slaughter to launch a workout with the Men’s Shelter. Also learned that Pipeline was a Maybe EH. Maybe and I now frequent the same dance studio, because that’s the way us site Q’s roll. #belly
Congrats to Rube. He and his M had a baby a week ago Thursday. Nothing better nor more important than our 2.0’s.
Announcements: Bell Lap is on Monday, December 12th 0520 HotBox….eerily similar to what transpired here.
New Workout coming to Men’s Shelter…look for word coming from Pipeline and Slaughter
Thanks to Matlock for the take out. (shhhhhhh! he really does give a F#$%!)
Always grateful for the opportunity to lead. However, life is presenting a lot of opportunity for this, so looking for some help here….If you can Q, please do. As it looks now, I have the Q from now until Dec 25th 2021 when Christmas, mercifully falls on a Saturday.
