Moleskin

Bleeder departed Dogile mid-workout with Circle K, Circle K headed to a Tennis Match, Bleeder headed to Q at Gridiron. Earthworms passage of going to deeper water was excellent. At Gridiron, Bleeder basically doubled the entire first workout the pioneers experienced over year and a half ago. Even the elements of Keeping the PAX together, White Deer plowing forward, but having knee replacement has slowed his running speed( However, not his Bear Crawls). Way to push through White Deer!

TYA stinks, literally. At the first circle up at Gridiron, TYA quickly noticed a rank odor coming from the PAX. Of course, as is his way, he let everyone know that there was an issue. He quickly found out, once he moved downwind, that the issue was his. WOW, has he taken a shower all week. To remedy that situation, Bleeder doused TYA with a bottle of water after the workout.

Skipping the initial COP and going right into the exercises was different today. TYA had a lot of work scheduled and did not have extra time to spend on items he could take care of during the exercise regimen. When we got to the Amphitheater, feedback from the PAX was instant, as I declared yesterday that I did not want to do anything in the Amphitheater. As I thought through the workout, the amphitheater is one of the best assets at Dogpile and it seemed a waste to not take advantage of it.

Lots of mumbling and grumbling about the exercises and number of exercises during the 1k 5k. The Q hearing the feedback immediately decided to make no changes. Timeframe ended up being really tight, but we did get back to the shovel flag at 7:01 (no extra charge for the extra minute of workout today, its already includedin your fee).

During this week several PAX members asked both TYA and Bleeder about the Corporate Challenge of Q’ing every day of the week. Like most CSAUP’s( Completely Stupid and Utterly Pointless) there was no reason for doing it; other than “can you?”. Most things F3, “can you?” is the operative question; Everyday has it’s own challenges, Work, Family, Friends, everyone has a challenge that they are facing. Some may seem simple, others overly complex, F3 is a simple challenge, but it’s a choice. Take the red pill.

TYA and Bleeder, over and out.
