12 PAX(some points whores) posted to Downtown on Friday. Broke was down in his back and I just happened to be off work for Good Friday so I took the sub Q. I scrolled through the Google map looking for something new and came across the cemetery on Franklin which had a cross made of asphalt in it. I figured that hadn’t been done before so that’s where we went.

Warmup:

You know some stuff. Well Pallbearer doesn’t know because he wasn’t there. More on that later. We hit the road stopping for some exercises every block and made our way to the cemetery via the mid-town motor inn. We discussed what all you could get there and the number of people there getting it.

Tha Thang:

At the center of the cemetery we started 11’s with flying squirrels and hand release merkins. Run in a different direction each time you get back to the center. It made a pretty cool cross on Strava. It was also a bit longer than I anticipated and took a little more time. Somewhere in here SA explained to me that Pallbearer was attempting to get the FRC to Downtown double points but drove like a Grandpa and was probably still in route. #HTSI. About midway through we were running in the direction of someone walking and SA was about to trash talk them when we noticed it wasn’t one of us and he was attempting to light a cigarette. I assumed it was a homeless guy and realized we must have woken him sleeping in the cemetery! Wow! Slaw said he asked him his name and he replied Legion and said he was many. It’s the Mid-Town Motor Inn. You never know what you might get.

After that we hit the road again making our way to the old central school. You old guys know what I’m talking about. We partnered up for some Dora. P1 runs to the top of the stairs and back P2 starts the reps. 100-Starburst, 200 Dips, 300 feet on the wall toe touches. We had to cut this short and made our way back to Main St. All along the way Sargento kept asking how many PAX we had. I informed him the Q had counted and was counting. Apparently for him to understand it has to be out loud and slow. #HTSI. Side note if you or your IRA has been impacted by Sargento there is a support group. Contact me or SA for details.

On Main St. we stopped at each light pole for a burpee. I think it’s about a dozen.

Back at the flag we ran into our old friend PB who said he’d run 3 miles in search of us. This has been verified via Strava. He seemed to believe he was due credit for the post even though he wasn’t there on time, didn’t work out with the group, or do anything but run at a bootcamp workout. I have mulled this over for a few days and have decided to give it to him even though he has not met any of my reasonable request for the makeup work. Now as I understand it he will not qualify for his bonus points because he didn’t post this morning but that isn’t on me now.
