Preemptive Calorie Burn

September 2, 2019

WHEN: 09/02/2019

QIC: Brotox

PAX: Chum, Duplo, Gomer, Mothman, Splashback, Stinky Pete

YHC was on vacation last week and intended to do some working out while there. However, after a Sunday morning run on the beach left me with a sore ankle (nagging tibialis anterior tendonitis), the only workout I did the rest of the week were 12 ounce curls. With 8 days off, I legitimately wondered if merlot might be spilled this morning.

COT/BOM

Thanks for coming out on a holiday morning to preemptively burn off a few calories in advance of your Labor Day hotdogs, beer and such. Go enjoy the rest of the 3 day weekend with friends and family!

Moleskin

Some interesting topics of conversation pre-workout…Chum’s fish fry and alcoholic consumption yesterday led to him passing out on the couch last night and a wicked hangover this morning. Good on ya for still getting out this morning. Gomer’s ceiling grate crashing down at 0430 was better at waking him up than any alarm clock has ever been. Pre-dawn and wide awake with nothing better to do, he figured he come out for a workout.

Primary topic of mumblechatter this morning: the apparent anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric.

Until next time, Aye!
