YHC, Fava, & Shaggy ran a bit, with some burpees thrown, in to get the cobwebs out before the pax gathered on the grounds of the Capitol for Thursday’s edition of the General. I really like this AO, and I encourage the pax to try it out. There’s a ton to do around there, and you’ve got one of the most beautiful pieces of architecture in North Carolina as a launching pad.
The pax turned out in droves this morning, and I thought for a second I made a wrong turn into JC Penney for Urban Jungle. 29 of us, including Neck “the Pantyman” Brace from Lake Murray South Cack. He brought along an FNG buddy who recently moved to our area from the Atl, and for some reason, there was a little good-hearted mumblechatter in the air.

Fun workout this morning. Great group as always, but we were a little more chipper for some reason. So during name o rama, the FNG called his buddy Neck Brace out for wearing Daisey Duke-style workout shorts. See www.goruck.com for correct name: panties. Panties, son. You wore panties. Then the conversation did a couple of trips around the toilet bowl before plopping into the water like a huge turd. Something about being behind Neck Brace with those panties on while bear crawling. Anywhoo, a superb start to Thursday. Thanks, gents, for supporting me and all the other pax present. Thanks to Neck Brace for seeking us out while in town. Great to have you brother. Aye!
