Civility Restored

The BackBlast:

A group of HIM demonstrated peacefully at the polls to the applause of voters from both parties.  No violence ensued, probably because no issues were discussed by the pax.  YHC taxed the pax appropriately and allowed democracy to be exercised, as in feel free to start with either your left or right leg on imperial walkers, side lunges, peter parkers, parker peters, etc.  This particular dictator is evidently benevolent.  We were ready to settle any disagreement as we had an actual judge in our presence.  This group has experience with elections as the average age was someone in the range of sixty, especially if you throw out the outlier – Sunshine.

Here’s what we didn’t do – run.  Distance came in under a mile.  Unlike most of the metro bootcamps these days.  That was partially because YHC is Qing SIBLing Rivalry this coming Tuesday, which if you don’t know is a “running” workout.  But not in the vein of SIB, which is a bunch of young bucks sprinting for an hour at sub 7-minute miles – nothing wrong with that – but some of us can’t run a single mile under 7.

Inside our sub-mile bootcamp, we did a bunch of different exercises, which means we didn’t do 7’s or 11’s or any such thing.  YHC favors calling exercises versus OYO exercises.  Why? Just cuz I know when I do OYO, I’m more likely to cut myself short on a rep or two.  And when calling the exercise, it takes YHC’s feeble mind off how much it might hurt.

So it seems I’m running on a bit.  Let’s try to recall what exercises we did:

SSH x20
Mosy to concrete sculpture area (does this have a name?!)
You know what, I really can’t remember all the exercises we did, because honestly, I did not preparation for this Q to see how it would go – living on the edge in retirement.

That’s not entirely true.  I knew I was going to start with one exercise, move to another location, do two exercises, move to the next location, do three exercises, you getting the idea?  We respect our triple respects at ManCave so at each location, Team A as they call themselves got a little head start when YHC called the last exercise at that location.  If you are still reading this, let me plug a small advertisement here to ask you to send any FNGs to ManCave – they will be well cared for.  It’s not only not at 0530 in the gloom, we are honored to regularly have in our midst 3-4 triple respects who crush the workout every time.

Prayers for Pesci’s mom and her surgery.  Prayers for ChocolateBox’s friend – a mom going into hospice who has children.  Good to see Money back at the Cave.
