Glum

I’m glad I was Q today because I would have almost certainly fartsacked this morning and would have been none better for it.  In a age ignoring move I packed a parent’s group kickball tourney (lost in the finals) and a Jason Isbell concert all into my Sunday which had …

Traffic in Audubon

Must be October based on all the foot traffic/bystanders in Audubon Park this morning (just not sure mother nature has gotten the message yet- still hot/humid!)  We made a good impression- lots of “good mornings” as we mosey’d here and there  (usually RY does the most park outreach, but the …

PIMPn’ in the Park

Don’t Bring Me Down

With our scheduled Q Tinkles still on the mend, YHC decided to repeat most of Saturday’s workout. A brief disclaimer then we moseyed to the lights for the first COP: SSH x20, MC X20, IW x15, PP x20, Hillbillies x20, Parker Peter x20 & Seal Jacks x20 After the warm-up we …
