Finished.

 

THOUGHTS:

  • Very poor time estimation by the Q.  The plan was to complete the path twice (out-and-back).  Unfortunately, we didn’t get to the return trip. Whatever will I do with the extra exercises that I had planned?
  • Snooki counted 14 light poles.  In retrospect, that was probably too many for what the Q had planned.  I swear the troll who lives under the Reynolda Village bridge must have added a few lights recently.  I don’t remember there being so many.
  • It’s always fun to workout with Cheesesteak because you never know what exercise he’ll do.  It certainly won’t be anything resembling what the Q has called for, but it’s entertaining to see what crazy position his body ends up in.
  • Snooki, of course, had to modify the exercises.  No, not because he couldn’t do them, but because they were simply too easy for him, so in traditional Snooki style, he chose to make them all more difficult.
  • It was hard to hear all of the mumblechatter over Chisel’s ceaseless and constant commentary.  But even though he blabbered on the entire time about God know what, let’s just say that he dominated the workout with ease.
  • Razzie was very eager to do the workout again in reverse when we got to the end.  He scoffed when the Q called for 20 more burpees and smiled his way through it. He wasn’t even breathing heavily.
  • The H.O.G., not trusting the Q to “bring it”, embarked on a 3 mile solo vision quest prior to the beatdown.  Then he proceeded to simply flow through the rest of the exercises with grace. Note to self and future Qs: When H.O.G. shows up, try to make the beatdown worth his while.

 

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

  • March 7 convergence at Jamison Park.  All other workouts are canceled that day.  I’m sure some runners will boycott the bootcamp and work on their soccer arms though.  But if you’re not one of them, post to Jamison Park and bring an FNG. Since you all like Whirly, you should show up.  He’s the Q.
  • Thursday, there is a talk at 12:30 at St. Pauls, “Things You Don’t Hear White People Say”.  See Cheesesteak for details.

 

PRAYERS:

  • Mrs. Burns for the upcoming babies.
  • The Palin family for the newest Eskimo.

 

As he does so well, The H.O.G. expertly took us out.  He should seriously consider a profession of the religious order.

 

Zima out.
