Warmer and breezy this morning for training session 6 or so for the Fury Friday match of death. I’ve now read and heard the promo from our compadres at the A1C, but as with any good movie (or home improvement show where they love to shout “we have something to tell you that will blow your budget”), there’s an Act 3 surprise: it seems the Splashpad now has a cornerman to counteract Turbodog: the Godfather, Quarterpipe. Much like Ali was in the Hulkster’s corner at the inaugural Wrestlemania, I fully expect Quarterpipe to run interference with a steel chair at some point (only to have Turbo chase him around the ring and throw him over the top rope).
But I digress. Today was all about repeating a previous performance until it’s second nature. We’ll need that repetitive “paint the fence” and “sand the floor” movements to counteract the flying fists and feet of the Diabetic Diabolical Duo.
Warmup – all 10x IC
– SSHs
– Imperial walkers
– Grass grabbers
– Toe touches
– Self love

Once we made it to the seawall it was:

At rips: Rocky Balboas and 3 trips up and down the rickety but always reliable stairs.
Lots of good chatter today, where we discussed the best movie scores, Tim Burton’s weird wife, The Goonies, Hollywood’s underbelly, afternoon PG-rated HBO movies (“Just One of the Guys” I’m looking at you!), and foods that make us belch (Cucumbers ftw!!)
Mosey back to the Pad, where 6:01 meant it was time for COT, Name-o-Rama, and prayer to close out.
Thank you to both of my compadres this morning and to the millions of our fans.
