To those who combed the thick book of excuses this morning and found nothing appealing, be proud of yourselves. It ain’t easy [being cheesy] convincing your body that little sleep after a partyful weekend is a good idea, but you guys did it and got a hell of a workout as the reward. That’s the thing about NP; even when you feel, look, and smell like shit, you know there will be someone armed with a hug and a smiling face and a thorough ass-kicking to start your mental and physical day off right. We’re happy to do so and love how pumped it gets you guys, especially you, Andrew. Wow!, that guy stole the show today, skipping eight downhill stairs at a time and handing out motivating double high-fives like we were paying him for it.
Workout
What we had here today was your typical Hot Mess with a handful of FIRESDRILLs thrown into the mix. You see, when you’re running to touch gold doors three consecutive times and when you’re dishing yourself out a heapin’ helpin’ of burpees, flutter-kicks, and walkin’ push-ups, a fiery boat-hold tossed in really jazzes the thing up…takes it up a notch if you will…BAM!
Notes
- Bastian and Jason, congratulations for fully committing, in a legally-binding way, to becoming Americans. That loophole Shaw found in the system really expedites the onboarding process and saves a boatload in legal fees; it is an early-Wed-morning-at-an-American-war-memorial-only ritual, so we expect you guys to be EXTREMELY grateful we provided that rare service this A.M.
- Jaden, your pics are fantastic as usual; thanks!
- Friday’s workout is at the south end of the canal, by The Tent and the NCAA headquarters.
- Friday, July 14th, our workout will be held in Broad Ripple thanks to the help of the Blue Mile running store. Stay tuned at the next couple workouts for more on that.
- The Race Day Cape is still a coveted prize, but without recorded times via the tracker, we can’t judge who had the biggest PR split. Since the tracker seems to be an unpopular means of tracking, please reach out and verbally, textually, or FB-ly brag to us with the full gusto of a great accomplishment (because it is) when you PR so we can write these things down and get our monthly champ draped up and dripped out. Lay it on us after each Race Day so you don’t have to remember. We’ll try to be more proactive about reminding you to remind us.
- And to our two new compatriots, Happy really early Independence Day ’18!!!
Enjoy the short workweek; see you Friday!
-Casey
