The Idiots of the Village hold a special place in YHC’s heart. Fantastic location, with tracks, covered areas, picnic tables, easy access for EC runs. But until this past weekend, YHC was unaware that there were rocks. Yesterday, on a recon mission, YHC noticed a nice pile. YHC supposes they had to do with irrigation, or something, blah, blah.
As a prior Site-Q for VI, YHC was excited to explore less traveled areas of the AO this morning. And that we did.
As we circled up, YHC noticed a figure to my left on the ground. It was apparent they were stretching. Not thinking, YHC assumed it was Sassy. But wait, Sassy was out of town….upon casual observation, it was a middle-aged woman, stretching. What in the world?
She had a front row seat for warm-o-rama. Now that I think about it, YHC is glad we did not do monkey humpers, Alabama prom dates, etc.

TIME
NMM
Strong work by the Pax today. Threw in some different exercises, which were met with sore legs. Hopefully.
Spicoli was indeed on Spicoli time.
Comments were made about YHC being a runner now. And my sub-11 minute miles this past week. YHC still cannot believe it. I say again…whatever.
TClaps to The Singing Cowboy and Schneider for a 2 mile EC run prior to VI.
YHC totally forgot to ask Harden and SourMash…WHERE IS MY BOURBON?? Seriously…where is it?
I think the woman stretching was headed to the pool. How are they allowed to be open?
Announcements
DQ has The Work tonight. No homework. Join if you can and better yourself. Reach out to Wobegon or Hoptoberfest for the Zoom invite. Worth your time.
Spicoli explained a bit more about the need to raise awareness of veteran mental health and the reason for the 22 push ups.
The Schmed is coming! Register now! https://secure.qgiv.com/event/the_shmed/
DQ and Turnover will each be donating $10 for each Pax that posts at the 2 am workout!
Van Gogh will be attempting the 5,000 rep challenge during the event. Thus far, he has collected pledges of 10 cents a rep and 20 cents a rep from several Pax. To date, he has secured $4,000 in pledges. If interested, DM him and make a difference.
YHC took us out.
Thanks Sassy, great to be back with the boys!
Have a great day.
