YHC arrived by 5:20 am to see Spit already in the parking lot. Others joined quickly, including Spike who had been out for a few weeks with a hamstring injury. Circle K rolled in at 5:29 am and the PAX took off as soon as he jumped out of his car. Well played, Circle K!

Grunts and groans were heard throughout the COP. YHC enjoys putting the PAX through 50 merkins IC total during the COP as a way to slam down 100 merkins total before barely getting started. The PAX stepped up to the challenge and fought through the “warm up.”

Monkey Humpers always surprise the PAX and this morning was no different. YHC remembered a workout at 45MOM that included a ton of Monkey Humpers and it messed up his legs for days. That was goal of this morning. Only time will tell if that occurred…

The PAX attacked the exercises at the bus loop and took no prisoners! Spike did not seem to be inhibited by his injury at all as he flew around the bus loop at a Spike-like pace. Emoji held a brisk pace despite his admitted ambivalence about running. He always brings the positive energy to the game. Throughout it all, Helix showed impeccable form and demonstrated how to take ZERO shortcuts to the PAX.

The morning ended with a recognition of Emoji’s 52nd birthday. The man is garnering more respect every second and he showed, once again, that he has the energy for 2.0 while inhabiting a body that is over half a century old. His appropriately named for all of the faces and enthusiasm that he brings to the PAX every time he is out there in the gloom.

It was another throw-down morning at DaVille! Well done, PAX!!
