(This dude is I how I envision the Earl of Chatham)
YHC arrived at The Earl and anxiously awaited the Pax. Just as I thought I’d be rolling solo, Bunyan drives up and executes a textbook brake slide into the adjacent parking space. Shovel flag planted, and off we went:
Warm-Up
- Imperial Walkers
- Arm Circles
- Quad Stretch
- Slow Merkins
Main Event
Derkin & Dips Elevenses: Move to the benches. 10 reps of derkins and 1 dip, then 9 derkins and 2 dips, then 8 and 3, and so on down to 1 and 10. Combined count always equals elevenses.
Run down Salisbury Street to the parking lot of the vacant brick building with the faux water tower (about ¼ mile). Line up along first parking space. 10 merkins, then bear crawl 1 space. 9 merkins, crawl 2 spaces. 8 merkins, crawl 3 spaces. So on and so forth, down to 1 merkin and crawling 10 spaces. Disclaimer: around the 8- or 9-space mark, YHC decided to substitute crab walk for bear crawl. End result – ouch.
Run down East St to Courthouse / Traffic Circle.

COT:
Speaking of Earls, who remembers that show, “My Name is Earl”? I only ever watched one or two episodes, but I still found the show’s general plot a bit interesting. The gist of the show was a ne’er-do-well named Earl wins the lottery and then decides to right past wrongs. Earl summed up his epiphany:
“You know the kind of guy who does nothing but bad things and then wonders why his life sucks? Well, that was me. Every time something good happened to me, something bad was always waiting around the corner: karma. That’s when I realized that I had to change, so I made a list of everything bad I’ve ever done and one by one I’m gonna make up for all my mistakes.
I’m just trying to be a better person. My name is Earl.”
Just try to be a better person. My name is Chum.
