El Loco Ocho
All Harrisburg BackblastsSeptember 23rd, 2017
17 fine men came out to make themselves stronger through a pre-workout Bull run, Ruck, Broken Arrow, and/or with a workout inspired by blatantly stolen from Gapper’s ‘Crazy Eights’ Q. The workout went something like this.

1. Strong work by all. I logged ~ 3 miles, and I was at the back of the pack.
2. Thanks to Talledega for taking us out in COT.
3. Thanks for the opportunity to lead. This group always reminds me what I have to be thankful for and pushes me to be stronger physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead. Strong work by all!
@Klump – thanks for the plug on the 4H fund raiser. It really is a unique way to get some hamburger that you may already normally buy and help 4H at the same time. I guarantee there will be plenty of satisfied customers, here’s a recent quote:
“I can get a good look at some hamburger by sticking my head up Bull’s @ss, but I’d rather take the butcher’s word for it.” I am not sure what exactly he meant, but he loved the doo-doo out of the hamburger….go ahead and email your order to jmaiden@carolina.rr.com…orders are due by 10/7 and will be ready for pick up on 10/14.
By the way, good workout @Klump – even if I only made for half.
