Always moving but not going anywhere

QIC: BAM

Date: 4/26/18

PAX: Thistle (WD), Palin (WB), Beverly, Whirly (for most of it), Root Canal, Mutton, BAM

Since there was a pre-blast, you should know what we did, so that frees up space to wax eloquent.  As the pax gathered at the Joel they noticed that the Q was standing not exactly near them.  When the Q shouted “2 minutes!” one pax wondered aloud, “Should we come to you or are you coming to us?”  YHC assumes that only a millennial would ask a question if a leader would come to the group or if the group should migrate towards the leader.  #everybodygetsatrophy

Another pax thought the Q had gas, so that’s why he was standing alone.  The Q reminded the pax that possible flatulence and the proper launching spot for a beatdown were not mutually exclusive.

Once the group properly circled up and the clock “struck” 0530, we got started.  Basic gist, 4 workout stations, designated lap was approx. .5 miles, start with 5 reps and add 5 per lap.  Oh yeah, alternate forward and backward mosey as mode of transportation.

Based on pax in attendance, Q announced that Beverly and Mutton would get in roughly 12 laps and the Q would probably get in 2 laps and everybody else would be somewhere in between.

We did the first lap together to demonstrate some exercises and just to stay together.  As expected, Beverly was kind enough to oblige us and then shot off never to be seen again.

There was some discussion about the appropriateness of putting our feet on top of the markers at the Joel for dirkens.  The Q said it was fine.  #hewenttoseminary

In addition to Beverly’s speed, something else was in the air.  First the Q was struck with a certain discomfort that would not abate.  It has been known as having to “take a Whirly.”  But in a large parking lot facing a busy street, that can be problematic.  The Q thought he could get to more cover, but nope.  Certain bushes might start growing faster than others.

YHC thought it was humorous that the namesake of such a move was in attendance, but before YHC could share the funny story, the king was lagging a little bit and then proclaimed, “I’m going to Biscuitville!”  #promove  Turns out, that phrase must be like being in the south and somebody says, “I’m getting a Coke” meaning any kind of soft drink.  Once Whirly returned, pax found out he went to neighboring Speedway, and did not make a purchase.  Palin thought that was rude, but since his uncle founded Biscuitville, he was probably secretly happy his family’s business was not “visited” by Whirly.

At one point the Q heard Palin complaining he didn’t have a cool nickname like Root Canal, then Whirly shared he likes actual root canals. #qualityjournalismrightthere

Pax kept running and working hard, the Q kept falling further behind, but it all worked out.  We landed back at the starting point at 0615.  Beverly commented that since pax ran half forward and half backwards, his GPS said he ran 0.0 miles! #ferrisbuellermath

Pax circled up and headed out!

    In addition to TRQ and The Distillery, WIB is becoming one of my favorite Thursday morning workouts. That was a great WIB. Thanks BAM.
