Pax in attendance:\u00a0 Zima, Red Eye, Prospector, Lemming, Huckleberry, Touch Me Not, Quiver, Drama Queen, Spamalot, Offside, Mongoose<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Way back in 2014 and 2015, when the Pax was making workout choices based on who the Q is, I used to be a draw.\u00a0 On a cool Spring morning, I could count on 20+ Pax flocking to my workout, posting with a bit of trepidation about what mean old Mongoose had in store for them.\u00a0 Today, only 11 Pax made that choice and posted to Mayhem instead of B&W (12, with Van Gogh) and Conspiracy (14, with Snooki).\u00a0 And 2 of the 11 probably only posted because I pulled into their driveways and shined my bright lights on their house until they came out.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I haven’t been asked to Q very frequently lately at Mayhem.\u00a0 Given that, I have done a little self reflection.\u00a0 OK, very little.\u00a0 I mean, it’s 0700 so how much could I really have done.\u00a0 Plus, come on.\u00a0 Would I really spend a lot of time on that?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But, I did start to wonder during the workout:\u00a0 Am I losing my touch?\u00a0 Have I not provided sufficient workouts over the past few years?\u00a0 Is Mayhem losing its luster?\u00a0 Have I taken #fastholementality too far?\u00a0\u00a0Have you not been entertained?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My new approach will be to make each workout that I Q harder than the last.\u00a0 Nobody has thrown up, cried, passed out, or quit early at Mayhem in a long time.\u00a0 I’m not saying everything needs to be like Speed Trap, but things must change.\u00a0 We didn’t quite start today, but it wasn’t too fun.\u00a0 Here’s what we did:<\/p>\n
