Nine men decided to venture out into a mid-60s morning to see what YHC had in store. @Flyboy poked the bear a bit on Tuesday when he mentioned that since YHC probably has not completed a merican in three weeks, the workout should be a piece of cake. But then he didn’t show…something about a 6am departure for work. Yeaaaaaah, okkkkkkk.

Anyway, @Laser decided to keep his ‘tiny chest’ comments to himself this time. Either this is because he remembered what happened last time he said that, or he was giving YHC a break since he witnessed what our BRR team endured this past weekend.

Four of us, including @Laser’s 2.1 Noah, pre-ran. @2Step decided to test his iPhone and Garmin after running faster than @Laser at the cruise yesterday but logging a slower time. Garmin beat Apple. Since YHC loves both Garmin and Apple products, this was a lose lose for me. However, one thing we can all agree on is Tom Tom is worse than all three but I digress… Five more men showed on time and a sleepy @Point Break showed late to give us nine. I thought I was seeing things when @Bronco emerged on a weekday. The rumors are true! YHC has never seen him and @King Julian post to a weekday workout together…perhaps they are the same person?

Warm-o-rama:

ISTx15IC
Arm Circles

The Thang:
@Laser has been getting faster at an alarming rate these past few months…so much so that he stole a Strava crown from @ManDown (for a segment @ManDown created since he could not take the real Davis Lake mile…). It made YHC happy that he stole it from @ManDown, but I wanted to push him a little faster so YHC built this into the beatdown. However, @Pleasure decided to compete and @2Step was dishonest and told us the segment started at the end of the parking lot…at least according to @Laser.

1 Mile Run
100 Burpees (since YHC loves burpees)
200 Mericans (since YHC does not want to have a tiny chest)
300 Air Squats (since YHC needs strong legs for running)
400 LBCs (since YHC needs a solid core for running)
1 Mile Run

No one completed this…not sure if anyone got close. Most enjoyed 2nd F instead. Some enjoyed it more than others (@Turf n Turf). However, we are all better than we were before we attempted. Special shoutout to Noah, who endured this as his first post. Keep coming out so we can make each other better!

Announcements:
@Flyboy might still need help with his ramp building project. See him for details.

I forgot to mention this this morning but exactly 15 years ago, I decided to take a chance (something I never did then and rarely do now) and become serious with a tall, skinny girl I’d met through a friend in college. 15 years later, we are happily married. I hope I’ve been as much of a blessing to her and she’s been to me. Happy dating anniversary Amy!
