The Workout: SURPRISE!!! We ran!!! Unsurprisingly we continued our study of the 5ish miles of hills provided by Crossway. Shredder enlightened us that we would be running fairly close to his house. I asked if he had a full coffee pot he might like to share. He chuckled and reminded us all that he had a John we could utilize if necessary. Good looking out Shredder, there are really only the Johns that nature intended on Crossway – I’m sure Salsa may have utilized those facilities. Its just the same since Lipstick opted to stay close to his home and with his own John this morning (Q!). Just like the aptly named Skidmark who also decided to stay close to his personal John during our Crossway session in the gloom (Skid had texted the day before to vote for a little Crossway action – I’d call that an HC). Tsk Tsk Fartsackers 😛
All in good fun gentleman – see you out there next week!
