A couple of stallions joined YHC as he kicked off training to PR his mile time by year end. As the pax joked ‘I think we’re getting wet,’ the downpour turned torrential. We did brocode to the Midlo High track, then it was each man for himself for 800 repeats, then back to the flag – all totaling about 4.5 miles of exhaustion. Numberama, Namerama, YHC took us out. Prayers for Hermey’s upcoming surgery. We immediately scattered like water drops on a hot skillet, as if the rain could get us any more wet.
As YHC drove to the Green mile we contemplated doing the workout in my garage and wondered if anyone would be present on a moist morning. We were in luck as a basketball team showed up to see what the Green Mile had in store for them. The mumble chatter was strong this morning as we discussed 8 tracks, CD’s, Cassette tapes, etc. as the tunes blasted. Warm up: Usual stuff. COP: To various song, perform various exercises. YHC quickly took us out in prayer.

5 wet bandits made their way to the stop sign today. Some dawned umbrellas, some embraced the rain in a more natural way. 5:30 off we go Did the typical route through the hilly part with a brisk pace. We managed to make it past Toby’s house before any HR violations. Topics today were Holly Madison, what age is appropriate for Jurassic Park, the importance of submarine regulations, and TSG found out that Flyboy is the Bubba Gump of Midlothian golf courses. rain was consistent but couldn’t hold us back!
8 Steeds lined up to pay the toll at No Toll but one Clydesdale couldn’t raise his frame above the bar. Machismo had the Q as called by 9pm the day before. Pax moseyed to the tennis courts and under the memorizing impact of mumble chatter and the sunrise lit water tower, no one could keep in cadence for the classic SSH. There was talk of mutiny. YHC continued through and moseyed to the routines. 1st Quatro de Checko really just 4 guys in a triple check and a partner. Merkins, squats, run across the field. Thang 2: Dora: 100,…

Still stiff from the convergence workout we got in some extra stretches. We mosied to the lower parking lot. Neck rolls, imperial walkers, helicopters, scorpion rolls, merkins, cherry pickers. The cool air made for good running weather. Long mosey to the wall for some hoedowns. At this point the janitor was curious and poked his head out to ask what we were doing. After the usual EH speal, he quickly said aww he’ll nah closed the door and proceeded with his duties. A good laugh was had by all. After this out leaf to a Broadway beat down. Hoe downs…
Noticing the Q sheet was open at 9PM last night, YHC decided to make sure that didnt happen. 8 kettlebellers had just enough energy post Convergence to swing some bells. Tzatziki was oddly early and Hermey had the hammer down to make it on timeish. After a short mosey the PAX picked up Hermey for an extra half lap. Mission statement, 5 core values, DMH, Andy Dufrane, SSH, wife stretches, LBCs and merkins. After the heart was pumping the PAX picked up their bells and decided to take a walk to the back of the school. As the PAX was…
