YHC pulled into the North Hills Parking Circle this morning to see much of the movie theater slots were blocked off with orange cones or already taken by Fern nutrients. No dog walkers today, no mall walkers today, and the Fern Ladies are covering up with the cooler and damp weather setting in. Fortunately, Cornholio showed up 15 minutes before go time so I had someone to help occupy me from my random tangential thoughts.
I seem to have developed a single hand wave / head nod relationship with the early bird gal who does the pre-open at Chick-Fil-A. MDice should not be concerned.
Mall security came around once at the beginning of the work-out, but oddly when it started a light drizzle we didn’t see them again. Of course, we didn’t have Screech’s used tires and sledgehammers this time so perhaps we don’t appear all that threatening to the American Shopping Economy.
Wonderland commented on the how the “Step-ups” on the fountain really do sneak up on you after your first 8-10 cycles. Tin Cup and I agree; the first step of the McAlister’s Deli (today’s) is about 3-4 inches shorter than the first step of the JC Penny fountain.
Cornholio reports he is about the same – but he did some modified Burpees today which appears to be a significant improvement on his repertoire of exercises that don’t cause him to lock up his knees in burning agony.
Tin Cup is doing the full count of SSHs and Step Ups, so those rehab exercise and time must be helping that ankle out.
Wonderland was sporting the Allen Iversen look with a single calf leg sleeve – what’s that called, a legging?, can’t be… that’s a Jennifer Beales FlashDance reference.
Light post update Week 3(+): You guessed it – still leaning, cones present, but the light works! I find this irksome but I am not yet vexed. Terribly, terribly, vexed.
Disclaimer: No FNGs so mumble chatter disclaimer – Wonderland joined us today thus we gave the appropriate Recovery Road disclaimer. If it hurts, stop doing it. If you think it’s going to hurt, don’t do it. Pick another option exercise and join back in when the Pax hits something you can do.

We need Q’s to keep this going.
Dice is trying to transition himself back to doing two Running Workouts each week (so can only Q 1-2 of the Recovery Workouts a week). You do not have to be injured to Q @ Recovery Road Workouts – it can be a change of pace workout for you to drop in and Q a non-running boot camp type workout and touch base with some of the Pax you’ve been missing at the full impact workouts. If you want to get on the Q list – contact Dice (twitter: @F3Dice / email: colin_mchugh@hotmail.com / Text (919) 971-7673) or use the sign up lists linked below: Okay I can’t get the links to activate…so do a copy paste into your browser….
