When: 06-11-19

QIC: Buckner

The PAX: Boots, Sludge, Buckner

The PAX learned this morning that vacationing in Hawaii will age you quite a bit. Actually by about 40 years! So how many times do you say respect for a PAX that is 102? It’s amazing, because he doesn’t look a day over 100!

A Stroll Thru Hades

YHC showed up before Pew and set about to stretching. Pew picked a nice long one around the Regency neighborhood. Here’s the route:

https://www.strava.com/routes/18613804

YHC having recently been assigned to physical therapy, Pew decided to let it be an easy day for us. Plenty of walk time to help with recovery.

We walked a lot.

A lot.

But you got to get better somehow, right?

Did I mention that we walked a lot?

Yeah, it killed me in my mind. Moral of the story: don’t hurt yourself, get better the wise way. Slow and steady wins the race!

I should take my own advice. Pew said so.

We made it back to the flag (invisible—we are working on that) just a few minutes past the end time.

Workout Style: Run
Conditions: 50s and clear
QIC: Sugar Pants
PAX: Stretcher

YHC showed up to find Stretcher patiently awaiting. Having scared off a creepy car, we started!

No disclaimer needed, so none given! Route of choice was Sugarland–see link.

Check out this route on Strava: https://strava.app.link/qFa81gV15V — Sugarland

Plenty of friendly mumblechatter this morning. Stories swapped and laughs had.

Stretcher killed it–went FAR before needing to take an active walk. Tclaps!

Returned to flag for some stretching (THERESA?) after our 2.2 miles conquered.

Noticed a man across the parking lot doing some calisthenics, so YHC got excited and closed out the workout to drive over and offer a friendly EH. Met with maximum resistance.

In a hurry to get the EH on, YHC FORGOT TO DO THE FULL COT!

Shame. Shame. Shame.

My apologies Stretcher. I will not let you down next time brother.

Thanks for coming out and getting better with me.

      • Women get support from other women but the men have to sit in class with the women.  WRC wants to add a fathers’ support group.  YHC suggest that we provide the men who can meet with these dads 1/week for 1/hour at the WRC office on Sage Ave.  Discussion will include what it takes to be a dad who sticks in there, Godly men characteristics, and fielding any questions they might have about enduring through this pregnancy with their baby’s mamma.
