My version of a news-style blog post today as I have my sights set on a new career choice…newsing the shit out of shit.
The Workout:
Felt like fall on the South Stairs of the War Memorial today as we broke out the wax for the old “Mustache Flight Pattern”. Up to the gold door and choose either East or West door where the luck of the roll determined your exercise fate. Then back to the south stairs, don’t forget the tricep dip, back up to the door and go the other way. Repeat until svelte.
To top it all off, Casey and I roundhouse kicked a brick wall down in order to give us some props for a nice brick passing chain gang. Wall sitters on the way up and boat holders on the way down as we Russian twisted the night away to our favorite “brick” themed songs. Both of them.
Today in Sports:
In the epic battle of Mary vs. All Wednesdays in August (for which she verballed) the score is:
August: 3/Mary: 1
With one Wednesday remaining in the month, it appears as though August has clinched the series. Was this an upset? This is to be interpreted individually, however Vegas had handicapped Conor McGregor with better odds to beat Floyd Mayweather this weekend than they gave Mary to show up every Wednesday of any month. (editor’s note: I don’t expect a lot of people to really get this joke…let’s just say McGregor may be the biggest underdog in pay-per-view history. Donald Trump has better odds to win a Tony Award than McGregor has to win this fight.)
RIP, however, to the bee that Mary stepped on two weeks ago preventing her from joining us today. One must assume that happened while she was watching her garden grow.
Today in Breakfast Club news:
New segment, but worth noting as a lot of people are really missing out on some quality musings by not joining us for breakfast….which we do every week at First Watch.
Today’s Life Lesson: Whilst flying, it is important to stand out to the flight attendant with your beverage order. Our suggestion – order Hot Milk. Preferable in a breathy tone while profusely sweating in a window seat. It will be important to also note the expression of the stranger seated next to you when you do this. To ease their mind, be certain to ask to borrow their “Safety Procedures” pamphlet to make sure it matches the one you got (also explain this to them).
Announcements:
Friday we will be workout out on Monument Circle. Look at a map of Indianapolis. Find the dot in the very center. Go there. It is where we will be at 6am on Friday morning. You can find us at the North Meridian spoke.
Sunday we will be running with Andrew at his Brebeuf 5K/3K run that benefits the Special Olympics. $5 donation lets you run some trails with some great athletes. Registration at 12:30pm with the run starting at 1pm.
Brunch Run – sign up to be entered in the Brunch Run challenge for prizes by giving us your name and email. Or, just sign up for the run using SHOWUP as your promo code for a discount. Details of the event HERE….it is right in our wheelhouse. Trust me. Side note: NP will be hosting a “warmup” workout prior to the run as well as tagging….with a SPECIAL BRUNCH RUN tag (that you can only get by showing up to the race).
Lastly – Casey and I still intend to put on an NP Race, however the originally announced date of September 24th will not happen because of another relay race happening on the canal. In true leadership fashion we just kind of proclaimed something to be happening without actually doing research as to whether it was possible. BUT – stay tuned because this race will go down, just on a different date.
Have an amazing week and remember to not to hold those bricks too long.
Monroe….gotta go,
Shaw

Milk was a good choice.
