I proactively grabbed the 3/10 Q slot at  the Rabbit nearly 2 months ago. It’s Tobacco Road taper week and I feared being subjected to an overly aggressive Q pushing hill sprints or fartleks on the PAX. So today I took the reigns and opted for a  slow, steady, 4-mile route that would leave substantive time for warm-up, fellowship and mumble chatter, and an early end to the normal 1 hour workout.  And then Grunge showed up.

Alas, I wouldn’t be baited into any PAX asking for more (“thank you sir may I have another?”). So I  stuck to my original plan despite the Grunge stare peer pressure. But there was clear disappointment (bordering on shock and awe) on Grunge’s face when YHC let the PAX go home 10 minutes early. Sorry, Grunge. Hopefully the patch I gave you makes up for the pain I failed to deliver. 😉

12 PAX in total. Let’s go.

Warm-up

• WMH x 10 IC
• Frankensteins x 10 IC
• Hillbillies x 10 IC
• Good Mornings x 10 IC
• PAX Choice while telling a late arriving Jingles a joke.

Route

Mary

• Merkins x 30 SC
• End (much to Grunge’s chagrin)

Announcements

• Gambler III happening on 5/16. Details coming. Grunge wondered aloud if Q slots were still open and Zook immediately stamped down that request. JK Grunge. You should reach out to Chum.
• 7+ local F3 Chatham PAX are running either the Tobacco Road half or full Marathon on Sunday. Wish them luck!

Moleskin

• Jingles showed up about 2 minutes late not wearing any shoes.
• Kosher mumbled something after YHC requested jokes for Jingles but the PAX decided that it didn’t meet criteria for a joke.
• I love Grunge and I’m just busting his balls.
• I almost got into a car accident in the BC Clubhouse parking lot as some nub sped through using it as a shortcut from Tobacco to GRP.
• Ironlung wants us all to know that he really hates running races and blames us for his decision to sign-up for Tobacco Road.
