Introduction

PRE-BLAST (That’s what she said...)

DARK TOWER PRE-BLAST – 3/6/20 @ 5:15am
Things you will say during or after the Beat Down at The Dark Tower on 3/6:
·      I can’t believe that was only 2 minutes…
·      Holy crap that was hard!
·      I’ve never done that before!
·      @Smalls… Donkey Punch… NOW!
·      I’ve never been so confused, yet so satisfied!
·      @Percy you magnificent beast… I didn’t know you had it in you!
To all of this I will respond: “That’s what she said…
Bring your coupon, some significant immaturity, and EVERYTHING YOU GOT!  HC in the Thread.

You will not be disappointed… That’s what she said.

Showed up at 4:45am for a solo EC Run.  Car said it was 33 degrees when I pulled up.  It was windy AF… Started jogging north west toward The Beach… about 3 minutes in my large intestine started to cramp.  About 8 minutes in, I finished mile #1… This is getting uncomfortable (That’s what she said…)!  Heading east on Van Buren now, thinking I may need to harness my inner @Snart and contemplated where my best bet was for an open Public Restroom.  Picked up the pace and headed back toward the Dark Tower, hoping that the Cafe restroom was open. 15 minutes in, right at the 2-mile mark of the EC run, I reached the cafe, said a quick prayer for unlocked doors and walked into the restroom.  Surprisingly… this washroom is very clean at 5am (and uncomfortably warm).  I have to say, the experience of having a to relieve myself after running two miles and sweating uncontrollably was mildly satisfying… Respect to those who deal with this on a consistent basis.  This was my first experience with an EC run stirring up my digestive system.

Why am I telling you this?  I’m not sure… I guess I hoped to make your rear end as uncomfortable as mine was.

That’s what she said…

Warm-O-Rama

F3 is a free men’s outdoor workout, held heat or cold, rain or shine, snow… wind, or whatever the hell is going on this morning. Workouts lead on a volunteer basis in a rotating fashion.  We always end in a Circle of Trust.  I am not a professional, and I do not know your injuries. Modify as needed, don’t get hurt but push yourself.

This is going to be hard this morning!  That’s what she said…

Tappy Taps – 20 (IC)
Grady Corn – 20 (IC)
Motivators (from 12) – For those who were there and hated this, just know that this was 312 reps.  You’re Welcome…

Circle of Trust

I picked up this Q spot on Tuesday becasue no one else was stepping up to do it.  I was inspired by @Rooney too, who stepped up for his VQ last week and then jumped in again 5 days later.  I really enjoy getting out here to lead you guys in these workouts, and I encourage ALL of you to do it.  It really gives you a new perspective on what it takes to put these workouts together and have some fun with it.  For some of you, it may not be natural to put yourself out there, but it’s absolutely worth the effort and getting out of your comfort zone to do it.  It never gets natural either… this is my 6th or 7th time on Q, and I still didn’t sleep much last night.  Maybe it was my 4-year-old having to pee in the middle of the night, or maybe throw up (I’m still not sure what happened there), or my M not sleeping becasue she never does… but it was probably the nerves.  Anyway… get out there and lead guys.  We all want you to.

Prayers for @Smalls’ brother, my brother-in-law, @Mr. Miyagi, @Wet Wipe’s father-in-law, & @Smokey’s father-in-law.

… and as I end all of my Q’s.  DO BETTER!!!!

LITERALLY, That’s what she said… thanks to my M for yelling this at me while playing bags one night.
