NMM

  • After the bear crawls War Eagle let it be known that he believes I come up with my Qs on the drive to the AO.  Seemed like an insult.  I assured him nothing could be farther from the truth. 
  • Upon hearing that we were going to run the two mile lap, Hokie peeled off to work out solo at the outdoor gym.  He’s been dealing with knee pain and just received a cortisone shot.
  • I had a tough time coming up with a plan for this Q.  On the drive to the AO was when it hit me, let’s try to complete the loop.  Once I heard about Hokie’s cortisone shot, I should have modified my plan, but I didn’t.  That was a Q fail on my part.  It bothered me for the rest of the workout.
  • Luckily, things worked out.  The Disclaimer was late and hooked up with Hokie and they worked out together.  Still doesn’t excuse my poor leadership, but I’m glad it worked out.
