8 gathered together for what turns out to be my 50th Q. Last night, I was wondering why I signed up for 2 back to back, and then remembered that Turbine took one a couple of weeks ago and his 60th birthday party was much more important than my 50th Q. So I picked up the bells to keep it from being a run. And then, forgot the all call, or mention it at all until taking with MASH as everyone left, but the men still showed out.

There was a promise of no running and a stationary workout. We didn’t hold completely to stationary, but the ankle wasn’t miserable, so a short walk to give our shoulders a break was needed.

Haul weight to the ticket booth and circle up. No SSH’s today, no jumping in general for me, so not calling it.

Always a pleasure to lead, thanks for playing along, left the weinke at home, so some of that was on the fly. What I originally had planned sucked a lot more and was too much counting, so glad I went with simple work, I mean, my shoulders are done.

In other news, Yellowcake still declares us a burpee free zone (I don’t always adhere to the rule), Pharaoh still hates the squirm (even if Blue Chip slows it down), MASH said two handed curls are not for him (going single hand most of the way), and I still enjoy leading after 50 times at the helm.

Prayers for my family, Blue Chip’s son, Loveboat, all the injuries guys are dealing with, our leadership within our community.

I’ll see you guys back out tomorrow, Run, Walk, Bike or Ralk?
