YHC seeks to take the Q on June 12th every year in memory of some high school drama many years ago. It was on June 12th that a prom went sour quickly as a girl rejected YHC and lit a fire of bitterness in his stomach. YHC’s goal is to bring a sample of that June 12th PAIN to the PAX every year on this fateful day. YHC tried to accomplish that goal again today…

YHC rolled into the parking lot a little early to scout out the possible use of the stairs behind the school building and found Spit already there. YHC decided to strike up a conversation with Spit instead of scouting out the scene and went with his memory from the prior week when Yardsale took the PAX on a running tour around the school.

It looked like it may be a Colonial 70 team (plus Emoji) workout but we were glad to welcome No Idea to the COP. YHC almost face-planted on the way to the track, however, due to a patch of puddles hidden in the grass. Emoji brought his usual exuberance about Don Quixotes and everything else. YHC cannot recall what he said this morning about Don Quixote but he had some commentary on the life and legend.

YHC chose to mix it up a bit and include some more running/sprinting in the workout this morning as a way to trick some MANNDate muscles that may be used to staying in the parking lot. The PAX pushed through the exercises. The step up to the picnic table benches brought out Lion King references and even some singing from Spit. Very impressive. Pavarotti better watch out for the singing competition! (F3 karaoke competition?).

Every F3 morning provides a new adventure and this morning did not disappoint!
