Mix Tape, Volume 2

Mix Tape, Volume 2

QIC: Zima

Date: 4/4/2019

PAX: Offsides, Huckleberry, Argyle (WD), Van Gogh, Palin, Pita, Touch Me Not (WB), Goofy, Razzle Dazzle, Toto, TPS, Zima (Q for the day)

I apologize to the boys who were expecting an utter body-destroying beatdown this morning.  That wasn’t today’s goal. Instead, today’s goal was to design a different kind of workout format that would keep the group together, increase the 2nd F opportunities, listen to some moderately decent tunes, share a few laughs, and in the process, burn enough calories to enjoy that end-of-workday Zima that everyone’s been craving.  Did it work? In my humble opinion … I think so.

Warm-o-rama.

Finished.

Today’s Q’s Random Musings:

• Very sparse backblast for fear of Van Gogh tweeting it out to all the world.
• You have not lived until you see Palin and Offsides performing their “not-at-all-aged white boy dad dance moves”.
• TONS of mumble chatter today, but the Q strategically placed himself next to the speaker so he couldn’t hear any of it.

Announcements:

• Color Run, Carter High School, April 27.  Search Slack for more information.
• BAM did not run by on Polo Road this morning.  I repeat. It was not BAM who ran by. Although, given how much BAM enjoyed this workout last time, I have no doubt that had he known we were doing it again, he would have DEFINITELY run by WITHOUT stopping.
• Huckleberry has the Q at the separatist Charlie Foxtrot on Saturday.
• Pita might or might not have had the Q today at WIB.  He also might or might not have it next week at WIB. He doesn’t really know.  BUT, there is a pre-blast out there in the event he ever does actually have the Q.

Prayers:

• Pita’s friend Tony who has cancer.
• Argyle’s friend whose younger brother took his own life.

Zima took us out.

The boombox ate the cassette mix tape, so ……. Zima out.
