Attitudinally Better

As part of the Summer Tour, YHC decided to make a Q appearance on the newest AO on the F3 RVA sheet. Hopes of a large local contingent dissipated quickly when the only 2 PAX in the parking lot upon the Q’s arrival were summer tourists. The summer tourists equaled the locals until 5:29:30 when a couple more locals rolled in. Off we went to get better.

Mosey around the parking lot to pick up stragglers, continue the mosey around the back of the school to scope out the AO. Circle up in the grass for a Saab friendly warmup.

Mosey over to the blacktop with a slight detour to check out the conditions of track. Since Dr. Tryhard requested that I let the PAX know about a poker night this weekend I thought I would help myself remember with a little gambling of my own. Blackjack – always add to 21. Start with 20 merkins on one end, 1 LBC on the other. Run back and forth until you work your way down to 1 merkin/20LBCs. Help a brother out if you finish early, one last round together to close it out.

Now it’s time to hit the track, Mudface’s favorite and a Marmaduke special. Catch me if you can. Partner 1 runs backward, P2 does 5 squats and runs to catch up, switch until you complete a lap.

Mosey to the swing set for some fun that YHC noticed during Blackjack. There are 8 swings and 8 PAX. Just enough time for a 6 pack with decline merkins with feet in the swing and WWII. Close out with some Mary, not counting above 10 since the guys in DaVille don’t know anything higher than that.

NMM – Happy Birthday to Chewy, not many 15 year olds start their day off with working out at 0530 with a bunch of old men, I am impressed. Great to get out to the newest AO in RVA. Some good things to work with out there, including a hill that looked great but did not get used today. Good to get pushed out of your comfort zone every once in a while, Tclaps to Mudface for pushing through the back and forth of Blackjack. It was a pleasure to see some summer tourists still making the rounds with Oyster and Doublemint. Great to see Trout again since YHC didn’t realize what his real name was until today. He and I resolved to EH one of his coworkers that lives near me with some mutual friends.

Bulkhead offered up thoughts and prayers for Maytag who got word he is being activated. Rounders is in the same division so we are assuming he received the same orders.

Closing out today Mudface gave thanks for this group for making us better in different ways and the one that stuck with me this morning was “attitudinally better”. Something to be said about going into and coming out of things with the right attitude, it make a difference.
