An elite 8, 2 on wheels, and 1 geriatric made for today’s festivities Rundown: Warmup (included a fan-favorite B-Lickers), Stations (Incline-Merkins, Derkins), Descending Doras (LBC, FKs, Merkins), Old Hundred (condensed version), court crawls (bear, crab, polar bear) Moleskin: YHC was appreciative being out with the PAX after being on the DL. There was a fair amount of mumble chatter which was politely ignored by YHC who was concentrating on administering the best mediocre workout he could muster. His NSFW jokes regarding mischievous monkeys and self-help books were received begrudgingly by the PAX. Announcements: Leave your Depends at home and support…

A dirty dozen descended upon Mary to partake in a geriatric-led workout. A variation of Bodos’ old hundred was administered with only a one-quarter of the running distance applied (imagine that).

Dad jokes appeared to win out over the NSFW anecdotes administered by YHC. Convergence this weekend marking 11 years of mayhem.  The gratitude I have for being part of this organization for over 10 of these years is immeasurable.  Saab abides
