For the record, this is my FOURTH (4th) Q this year and that includes my time off due to knee injury.
After being guilt-tripped into taking today’s Q I expected my tormentors to be present for my “Annual Q!” Sadly, they were all off running for various reasons. The once great “Saturday Boot Camp” has gone the way of the CD and Floppy Disk. But quantity does not equal quality, and I had 2 QUALITY Pax post with me.
I arrived early to un-lock the coupon cage and was met with an empty parking lot. When I got back from the cage, T-Rav had arrived. 6:00 came and the 2 of us were going to call an audible and run. At 6:02 we see a pair of headlights, and it was BenGay! We were confused because we did not know BenGay owned a car (he always runs to boot camp,) he explained that his morning “routine” took longer than normal, so he had to drive! THAT’S dedication!
With the trio together we ran to the center of the complex to get to work!
Since its introduction on 4/8/2017 NO ONE has tamed the Starfish in 60 minutes (as it was conceived.) Dixie Chick’s original masterpiece is just TOO much for one hour (IMHO), so I took out the 25 Flutter Kicks on Flossy’s Hill. T-Rav and I did our best (T-Claps T-Rav,) BUT BenGay killed it! He completed 4 of the 5 rounds. In passing and short of breath he mumbled that he was going as fast as he could and didn’t think he could go any faster.
For everyone who has not accepted the Starfish Challenge, you are missing out. T-Rav himself said it puts Battleship and Godzilla to shame! So when you guys get tired of playing games, come join us at the Epicenter for some work!
Special shout-out to T-Rav for driving ALL THE WAY ACROSS TOWN to post today.
BenGay, so glad the metamucil kicked in, you were a BEAST today.
Until next Quarter….Polly out!
BTW: We are STILL WAITING ON DUGGAR’S BACK BLAST FROM HIS BOOT CAMP ON 1-23-2018!
