Doctor, Doctor Give Me The News

QIC: Starfish

Date: 10/19/2024

PAX: Huckleberry, Subfloor, Van Gogh, Dr. Toot (WD), Draftee (WB?), Adobe, Ziggy Stardust, Drama Queen, Starfish (QIC)

YHC has been diagnosed with Tricompartmental Osteoarthritis in his left knee due to an old football (and tennis) injury where he tore his ACL at age 15 and then his PCL at age 17.  Now much older, the knee joint is “trashed” which is the official diagnosis from Dr. David Pollack.  Whereas he will eventually recommend a Total Knee Replacement, we are going to put that off for a while, so his current Rx is to “stop running”.  So, YHC has an official doctor’s excuse from running.  To celebrate, we reloaded up a playlist of Doctor tunes, grabbed a sandbag and a couple of jump ropes and got after it this morning at Alcatraz.  (Note that this workout had already been workshopped at Purgatory back in June, figured we could try it out on the WeFoCo inmates at River Oaks this morning)

FIN.

NMM

Apparently preblasting that we would not be running attracted at least one pax to Alcatraz, @VanGogh.  Although he likely would have been there even if we were running.

@ZiggyStardust apparently had to chug his White Claw before joining the warm-o-rama.  @Dr.Toot was kind enough to pick up after @Ziggy left his crushed can in the parking lot.

It was good partnering with @Draftee and the aforementioned @Dr.Toot on the sandbag this morning.

@DramaQueen figured out the playlist theme much faster that @Toot did.

Here’s the playlist:

• Dr. Who (Delia Derbyshire)
• Doctor’s Orders (Carol Douglas)
• Doctor My Eyes (Jackson Browne)
• Doctor Robert (The Beatles)
• Doctor Doctor (UFO)
• Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong (Spin Doctors)
• Two Princes (Spin Doctors)
• Bad Case Of Loving You (Doctor, Doctor) (Robert Palmer)
• Doctor! Doctor! (Thompson Twins)
• Calling Dr. Love (KISS)
• Doctor (Work It Out) (Pharrell Williams feat. Miley Cyrus)
• Doctor (Teen Mortgage)
• Doctor (Sasy)
• Doctor Wu (Steely Dan)
• Dr. Feelgood (Motely Crue)
• Doctor Doctor Doctor Help Me Help Me Help Me (Cage The Elephant)
• Right Place Wrong Time (Dr. John)
• Call The Doctor (J.J. Cale)

@Huckleberry may have been seen running with the sandbag at least once.

@Ziggy may have been the best rope jumper we had, or was it @Subfloor or @Adobe?  Speaking of @Adobe, he was particularly appreciative of all of the Jack Reachers….

Thanks for accommodating YHC’s lack of ability to run this morning.  It was an honor and privilege to lead.

Your friend,

Starfish
