Arriving at a “late-ish” 5:11, YHC saw no PAX and no flag. Though Akbar’s presence was detected on account of the glowing dash lights eminating from the arborous darkness of the parking lot. More mysterious and less detectable was true-to-his-word Garfield, who was suddenly spotted lurking in the shadows casually stretching. The noticeably absent Shooter would’ve been proud of the general stealth of the PAX, as Pelican was just as abruptly standing next to YHC!
Losing track of time, and realizing that King Abdication of the Echo India Order would not suddenly appear, YHC got the warmorama started with some Toe Touches, Torso twists (by which time Chewy had joined us), Imperial Walkers, Scorpion Kicks (when Cowbell arrived) and some SSH to welcome Burgundy.
With that, the PAX was off on the traditional scramble 5.1K route through Old Mandeville. A particularly pleasant run was had by all judging by the reduced quantity of perspiration accumulated in our collective shirts. The noticeably absent Shooter would have been dismayed to find the distinct lack of sweat angels in the workout area where where…
Hoping for a restorative Mary, YHC threw the baton to Chewy with the special request for some yoga-esque stretches. What the PAX got instead was 20 Hand-release Merkins OYO. Popcorn pass to Cowbell who hit us with some Crunchy Frogs. Then Burgundy lead us in some Russina-Dance Dips (real name still undetermined). Then came Pelican-lead LBCs and Bushwacker’s Oblique Crunches rounded out by more Scorpion Kicks by none other than Garfield.
