Moleskin:

It was a nice and cool morning. I walked out the door quickly. It was time to head to the workout. I was running behind, but it was manageable. I got there and we were able to start. There would be no true warmup just like when the workout happened in 2023. It would just be a decent bit of reps with some running around Hoppa’s Yard. If you wanted to consider part of the workout as a warmup, it would be the IC reps. Beyond that, it was all a part of the workout.

Things started off well. There was speculation about how many SSHs we would do since it was the 23rd. But we ended up doing 25 since that is what the old workout said. We then gradually went through the exercises. We did need to navigate around a woman and then a man who came out onto Hoppa’s Yard. But it worked out. When we got to the Merkins, I heard “I want to see Web do 25 of them in cadence.” So, that is what we did. Now the cadence may have been off near the end. I am not entirely sure. As the PAX can attest, I was not all there doing the workout. When we got to Imperial Walkers, I saw the 50 reps and wanted to swap to Monkey Humpers. Well, I apparently had said 50 Imperial Walkers and then proceeded to think about changing it. Hence I got lots of questions when I then said 50 Monkey Humpers. Thus we did the originally called exercise. Beyond that, I ended up saying “Alrighty” once on the last lap to make sure that Big Hurt and Big Worm did not pass me. I was ready to pull a play out of the Dictator’s playbook to stay in front, but Big Worm and Big Hurt did not try to pass (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoWibRxD_pY).

Well, I am running out of steam and have to prep for work. Thanks for letting me lead and coming on out. Have a blessed day!
