No Rocks Were Harmed Today

Q: BAM

Date: 7/12/18

Pax: Pinto, Wobegon, BAM

Heading back to the original non-running/running is stupid beatdown is always an honor.  At B&W yesterday, Burns is also anti-running and said he would check us out.  Alas, twas not to be.  Must have been some kind of late night baseball tourney that took him away from us.

To prove the timeless truth you don’t have to run anywhere to get a sufficient beatdown, the QIC crafted some good times involving no running, no moseying, no strolling, no Zuck-skipping, no hippy-hippy-shakes, nothing.  To quote the classic scene from Caddyshack: “What’s that sign say? No fighting.  What’s it mean? No fighting.  You, pick up that blood.”  The sign at the door of TRQ clearly says, “No running.”  Which means, no running.  And there was no blood to be picked up.  Or cow pee mixed with water, thanks to Toe-tag and the safety tip.

There were some fastholes that gathered in the parking lot with us, but The Vig quickly assured us they weren’t fit enough to hang with us, so they headed out for a leisurely 18 miler at their conversation pace of 5:30.

So, the brave 3 got going!

NMM

• Pax learned that Pandora has upped their commercial quotient on the free channel.  Q apologized for lack of effort assembling a true song list
• Stations sampled this morning: O.A.R. (not as up beat as hoped), Avett Brothers (knew this wasn’t going to be fast enough, but was in middle of workout and hit by accident), “One Way Out” by Allman Brothers (not the song, but a station built around similar-ish songs)
• Pinto referenced being sore from a workout the previous day by something called a “trainer”?  YHC told him he wasn’t familiar with that nickname, but he could gladly pay the Q what he paid that person.
• Pax learned even “simple” exercises like SSH can be challenging when you push yourselves and repeat 8 times
• Kind of a quiet group, I’m sure Wobegon was creating song lyrics or penning a novel in his head while working out.
• The aforementioned fastholes returned from their 22 mile jaunt in just under 40 minutes, and since they hadn’t broken a sweat yet, joined us for Mary.  Except for Beverly, who showed up after COT, staring at his wrist and talking to himself, “4 minutes to Wapner.”  Runners are weird.

Prayer requests

• Evidently Gump from F3 Columbia, lost his 19 year old son from a swimming accident recently. Heartbreaking.
• Prayers of protection for the stupid people running up a hill tonight.
