Merry Mex on Cinco De Mayo!

QIC: Starfish

PAX: Schneider, Buttermaker, Drama Queen, Drano, Whirly, Starfish

Date:  Cinco De Mayo, 2018

Pax:  Schneider, Buttermaker, Drama Queen (WD), Drano, Whirly, Starfish (QIC)

Since today is Cinco De Mayo and since today is also the third round of the Wells Fargo Championship and since Lee Trevino aka Merry Mex and/or Super Mex won the 1974 PGA Championship at Tanglewood and since Dawg Pound calls Tanglewood home and since we don’t need a tee time to hit the Reynolds Course at 0700 on a Saturday, a very loose theme was born.  And 6 pax showed up to celebrate the Hall of Fame golfer with the solid power fade and get better by running with pain stations this morning.

NMM

Extremely strong work out there this morning.  4.07 miles and a plethora of exercises and a boatload of laughs.  4.7 on the Garmin effect (at least for YHC; @Whirly, being the world-class athlete and elite runner he is, estimated his Garmin effect at 2.5.  We appreciate that he stooped to hang out with us lowly amateurs.)

@DramaQueen was a bit upset that we were doing ab exercises on the greens.  But YHC did remind all of the participants to repair their ball marks.  @DramaQueen also reminded YHC that Trevino didn’t win his PGA championship on the Reynolds Course.  Aye, that’s true, WarDaddy, but we would have never been able to make it to the Championship Course and back this morning.

YHC received an “HC” earlier in the week from #NantanEmeritus @Lysol.  YHC thought HC still meant “Hard Commit”, but now assumes that it must mean “Haiku Convention”.

@Drano was very excited that it was no longer Cinco de Quatro.

Nice to meet and workout with @Buttermaker.  Hope the original @Buttermaker doesn’t come back or else it could get ugly.

@Schneider was strong all morning and was conserving strength for his Q at #VillageIdiocy on Monday.  Although we heard at #Coffeeteria that @CherryPie thinks he has the Q at #VI on Monday, too.  #CelebrityDeathMatch.

@Fingers, we missed you out there this morning but know you were serving within the Prison Ministry well.  #HIM.

Privileged and honored to lead this morning, gentlemen.  Thanks.

    I am NOT a world class athlete, merely an elite runner. Starfish, if you will commit yourself, you too can reach elite levels of fitness and performance. You have to work out more than once a week; this was my SECOND workout this week. Hang in there, man. Fun times today.

    Thanks for taking the reigns, @Starfish! Looks like a great group and lots of fun. Hate I missed this one as I rarely get to leave ball marks on the green.
