Many of you know I am a yogi geek.  Several disappointed I didn’t wear my yoga pants.  All were disappointed Q was not a 5’7″ 105 lb blonde yoga babe, but life’s not fair.  Tombstone and Q both in a bit of a tired funk this am as we gathered…..just life these days I think.  As promised, beatdown was a little different than most.  No high reps, ladders, burpees or deck runs.  Plan was for the run to elevate heart rate.  Yoga was to force you to control your breathing and heart rate while working core and balance.  Not as easy as it sounds and  it get harder as you tire.  Form and breathing are key to yoga.  Combined with the run, it felt good.  Lots of chatter throughout the beatdown.  At one point we had to make a quick exit as our dialogue veered to graphic chatter of male anatomy, etc just as a woman went jogging by us in the Carolina Courts parking lot. Mayweather lifted up Brian Hyatt at the loss of his mother and both he and his father fighting COVID. Much confusion among PAX as we got our “Brians” mixed up.  Q was ready for a corndog joke.  PSA sent in via Spud from Dr. Jones – COVID real, social distance, wear mask, wash hands, avoid indoor gatherings.  Awesome coffee.

Namaste,

Hip
