Announcements:

• Schmedfest on August 24^th. Get tickets via Ticketmaster.  Google ‘Schmedfest 2019’.  F3/FiA convergence at fairgrounds morning of the 24^th.  TPS will be at the beach.
• Tuna 200 October 25-26. Team ‘The Expendables’ have six but need more.  The entire race is downhill.  There is beer and tuna at the end.  Don’t waste this opportunity and get on board.
• Join YHC for a weekly extra credit run on Monday launches from the Outhouse at 0512. YHC has explored a couple of routes, but likes the one the Pax took around the AO today.
• Did YHC mention the Tuna Run? Team Expendables still has open slots for the October 25-26 relay race.  Zima promises to start using an inhaler if three more teammates will step up.  See Offsides for more info.

Prayer Requests:

• Those suffering from cancer.
• YHC took us out with thanks to the Sky Q for bodies that work well and the fellowship of our workouts.

NMM:

• Preblast indicated that pax should bring traveling shoes. We covered some ground this morning, exploring some untapped areas of the AO.  Total mileage ~2.75 miles.
• Great fellowship was experienced throughout the workout. The pax stayed close together on a few medium distance moseys between stations, picking up the six occasionally, and watching out for one another along Norman Interstate.
• The brick pit on the east side of Mt. Tabor is henceforth named “Sheol”. It is a place of darkness and bad things happening.
• Pax were confused that we were leaving Mt. Tabor after such a short stop.
• We got a well-rounded full-body workout. Splash commented that he was fine with the running until Aiken Legs justified their name.  Wind sprints up Thornhill after Aiken Legs were a crowd pleaser.  Pax were surprised that they were instructed to “walk” back down the hill after the first wind sprint but embraced it soon thereafter.
• TPS crushed the “get ups” and kept a steady pace on the runs throughout. Splash appeared to be turning over in his head evil things to do to Pax with “Get Ups” in the future.
• It was a pleasure to have Lemming out to the Outhouse. HIM brought his running shoes and perseverance as he was at the front of the pack on the speedbump finale.
• Furthermore, it’s always an honor to have the Nantan join your Q. Hopefully we passed Spam’s AO inspection, although he did note that YHC’s playlist has not been updated recently.
• Fittingly, Bon Jovi’s Something for the Pain played while we completed the Alphabet to close out the morning’s festivities.

I kept the keys and will get them to Cheesesteak for next week’s Q.
