Moleskin:

It was a rainy morning with not much to see on the drive over. I arrive to see someone has arrived before me and is ready to workout. So I think to myself, “I guess we are doing this then.” The time arrives and two more vehicles arrive. We are 4 strong. I give the disclaimer that there was some lightning so if anyone feels unsafe or wants to go home, they are more them welcome to it. There would be no official workout in the sense that I expected them to stay and workout. However I mentioned that I planned to workout on my own and if they were to join, there would be no problem. After a couple of seconds, Wee Man suggested that we drive behind the school to get under the roof. I agreed since I did not want to feel like I was a wet cat waiting desperately to get back inside where it is nice and warm and I can dry off. So we headed on back there. Then the workout began.

Before we get to the workout though, you may be wondering why was there any workout this morning. The answer is actually quite simple: we started the workout with no lightning in sight and we did not hear any thunder. Since that was the case, I thought that an unofficially official workout was warranted up until there was visible lighting or thunder. We did not see a lick of lightning or thunder from the start of the workout until we left finished the COT. Now you may say, “But Web, you can’t see thunder.” My response is, “I said what I said”. Since things went so smoothly, I dare say we made the right call. Now on to your regularly scheduled workout description.

The workout was mostly an audible. I had a workout planned, but did not account for any rain. Thus it had to be modified. The gist of the workout is mostly the same, but 11s and 7s had to be replaced. Throughout the workout, we got to learn about Dipstick allegedly being the first in Florence to get COVID. He strongly denies this and Wee Man’s account of how this was the case shifted multiple times. We also found out that Sharpie dropped a ball beaing (?) on his foot yesterday and lived to tell the tale. Wee Man was Wee Man throughout the workout. He kept us chatting.

Now you may be wondering where the name of the Q came from. Well, you see. Today is April 3rd. There is the old addage: “Leaves of 3 Leave ’em Be.” So I decided I would have 3 stations. I also thought, “bears are itchy and like to scratch their backs”. Thus bear crawls were added in. And that my friends is how this Q came to be.

All in all, I think it was a nice morning with enough banter and exercises to keep us going. Thanks for letting me Q!
