The Thang: Eight HIM (High-Impact Men) gathered in the gloom this past thursday, ready to put in the work.
But the beatdown came with a mystery—somewhere after the blast down providence in the AO, a missing chocolate box had gone rogue, last seen chatting up the local newspaper delivery guy, negatively ranking the sausage workout. With Sausage at the helm, the PAX embarked on a search down providence around Lake Cloister that would test both their physical endurance and investigative skills.
Warm-o-Rama: • SSH – 20 IC • Imperial Walkers – 15 IC • Merkins – 10 IC
The Great Chocolate Hunt: Sausage led the PAX through a series of workouts at different stations, each offering a clue to the whereabouts what was about to become of the missing chocolate box. 1. Run around St. Gabes- and start with the warmup. 2. Sprint south on providence road because you're 40 and don't have a physical therapist, yoga instructor, and masseuse on speed dial 3. Run another mile or so and stop for squats, looking for any chocolate-related evidence 3. Dora Detective Work – run around the lake act as if there isnt a guy wearing a headband becoming a future innocent bystander in a crime of a lost pax. A newspaper guy shows up and seems he's interested to learn about Athena, and why the upcoming MetroLympics should have been set in the motherland. 4. Stop for LBCs, and Heels to Heaven for some chit chat on why Duke knows New Jersey as its true home court 5. Prisoner Get-Ups – 20 each side because you never know when you’ll need to escape
The chocolate box was finally located, deep in discussion with the newspaper delivery guy, presumably negotiating an exclusive interview on why 40 yr old Sausages can't lead workouts. Order restored, the PAX circled up a final check of the watches, clocking almost 4.0miles.
COT: Sausage wrapped up with words on perseverance, teamwork, and never underestimating the power of a determined chocolate box. Prayers for strength, leadership, and impact beyond the workout.
Moleskin: • The chocolate box’s whereabouts were well documented, and 'da'box' was furious after being left behind during Coach's 50th birthday bonanza on wednesday. Who would've thought Coach would turn it up a notch as his age was going DOWN a notch. Coach wasn't anywhere to be seen on Sunday as Novant was putting his limbs and tendons back together from a week of expressing his total self. Boondoggle left the house but had a traffic jam on the jersey turnpike so he chose to take the morning smash and show up late to the AO • The newspaper guy is now an honorary F3 recruit.
Sausage is 40. Coach is 50.
Until next time, keep showing up and putting in the work! AYE!
