4 men joined and headed toward the flag only to realize there was another shadow standing (and waiting) for the fun to commence. Little to the inclination of the PAX, YHC really hadn’t been able to formulate any real “plan” for the morning, except for the call of the first exercise. Q juice and intuition would have to drive the workout and YHC hoped something good would come out of the mix. Knowing the group that had shown up for the morning, it would have to at least come out in some sort of “organized” fashion or the mumblechatter would likely take over the morning.

From veteran Q’s to VQ, everyone wants to bring the heat and 5 mins never takes so long to pass during a workout. T-Claps to all Q’s this morning.

8 men showed up at Tectonic for Christmas themed beat down. YHC signed up the Q before officially going on the DL. Determined and needing a solid beat down, YHC didn’t entertain the thought of giving up the Q. Rather find a way to deliver some solid work while being a little limited. I think we found a way to get some decent work done.

Moleskin

Great push by the PAX. The Merkin Ring will be an exercise to remember (or forget depending on who’s asking). Highest number achieved by PAX was exercise #9. This set was brutal and guys pushed through for some serious work. Some tried to call it up to “better on paper,” but YHC sees it as achieving the goal. Setting out for some serious work and leaving others never wanting to see certain components of the workout again. Others challenged to attempt again to try and do better next time.

11 MEN came out to Tectonic to see what YHC might have in store for the PAX for a Labor Day beat down. Three of them (Grits, Itgonbfun, and Sakrete) got themselves into this mess on Saturday at Sakrete’s house, but none better than the proverbial SHOVE under the bus from the M of Sakrete.

A Warm & Moist Creamer….What more could you ask for?

When: 20180720
QIC: Hot Tub
The PAX: Too Much, Snowden, Wee Woo, Professor Klump, Repo, Hot Tub, Myrtle (Coffee only, but highly valuable to 2ndF)

2018-07-20 by Hot Tub Leave a Comment

5 Runners + 1 Rucker + 1 Conversationalist showed up at The Creamer this morning for a warm and moist journey.

Miles were had, this is a given, but what’s always unpredictable is the conversation to be had over coffee at The Creamer. Afterall, this is part of what sets The Creamer apart from any other AO I’ve posted at within many different areas of F3 Nation.

We all came with different agendas this morning….

For YHC, that agenda was mainly checking a box on the July Running Challenge Bingo Board. Little did I prepare for to end up being faced with the conundrum of which box to use this morning for (“Run in the Rain” or “Q a Running Workout”). Decisions, decisions.

Wee Woo made it very clear that Snowden was at fault for his posting, especially when rumblings started trickling out as Snowden came around the corner “comin in HOT,” just in time to throw headlamp on and lead the PAX out onto the road.

Repo was clearly holding himself accountable to post as much as possible before going on the “new baby excuse train” for what is a yet to be determined amount of time.

Professor Klump was doing Professor Klump things. Running before others and trying to convince us all to join him for another run after The Creamer instead of going to work. The botanist’s persuasion tactics did not lead to any takers pursuing this option.

Too Much was staying consistent with putting good quality miles in, this time on foot, as the bike may have led to a treacherous, more eventful morning.

As everyone settles in for coffee and conversation, then comes Myrtle, in a khaki version of his highly popular running shorts. The conversation takes off immediately and for much of you probably should have just been there instead of making some lame excuse not to be. Key themes from the morning were “Don’t Sell Yourself Short” and “why do we keep drifting away from the billboard discussion.” Image included to help gain some perspective (Myrtle, we all expect collective royalties for any usage of these slogans or materials due to our direct input….)

Then the PAX dispersed to their daily lives with only the found chuckling memories of conversations and good times at The Creamer……

Until the next one…
