The silent majesty of a winter’s morn at Flatline

QIC: BAM

Date: 12/31/24

PAX: Wobegon, Frostbite (WD), BAM (WD)

Yes, on the silent majesty of a winter’s morn, with the clean, clear chill of the holiday air, 3 assholes were not in their bathrobes and no sewers were harmed, but they did put in some work one more time in 2024!

Wobegon and YHC had texted that we’d see each other at Flatline since Wob is a sucker who has to work today.  Then as we expectantly waited for the preblast to see who would lead us on this most magnificent NYE, the site Q sent a message from south of the border showing off his multlingual skills.  Evidently “hiatus” is Spanish for we don’t have a Q.  So, since my work schedule limits my ability to Q and post much of the year, YHC rejected the site Q’s attempts for a pause, and decided these holiday cookies weren’t gonna burn their own calories!

Initial HC’s from the aforementioned Wobegon and also Spicoli gave encouragement at least someone would be there, so a plan was hatched!  Well, YHC hasn’t hatched a Q plan in years, really it’s searching for what beatdown seems appropriate to recycle.

Pulling into the parking lot, there was the Nantan Emeritus, and the current Nantan already there!  Uh oh, corporate was here to help, never a good sign.  Spicoli was nowhere to be found, even after our Spicoli lap, so we headed out.  (stay tuned for why he wasn’t there)

The Thang

Nolan Richardson – the former Arkansas hoops coach was known for his “40 Minutes of Hell” approach to the game.  So, some industrious pax made a workout named after him!  #luckyforus

We moseyed down to Corpening Plaza and proceeded to get after it

• P1 performs exercise, P2 backpedals across Corpening, does a Bobby Hurley then jogs back
  • Jump Squats – 150
  • CDD – 150
  • Squats – 300
  • WWII – 150
  • Arm swirly – 300
  • Merkins – 150
  • IW – 200
• Pax moseyed the longer way back to the parking lot to get in the steeper hill on 2nd Street #youarewelcome
• An official 6 Minutes of Mary rounded out the beatdown

NMM

• Corporate was resolute in their desire to do the workout and not head for breakfast
• Bad things happen when Wobegon does jump squats, so he avoids them
• The big Xmas tree is still up and lit at Corpening Plaza, it was both an unexpected gift of beauty to add to the workout, and prompted Wobegon to wax eloquent in quoting Clark W. Griswold
• Many world problems were solved in the moseying back and forth, but you had to be there
• We think Chick Flick is enjoying umbrella drinks down Mexico way for his new assignment with the tobacco overlords
• Evidently Spicoli was feeling a little crampy and didn’t want to risk injury and miss the big Convergence on Saturday
• Evidently starting off with several people died on that trail, is not the best way to EH someone to sign up for a race.  #goodtoknow

YHC took us out with the COT, being thankful for this community and praying we keep our focus on reaching out to others in the coming year.

Thanks boys!
