Intro:


Not wanting to miss out on all of the spring break fun, we figured those who were left behind would have our fun at The Happy Resort. Amenities include live music (courtesy of Floppy), line dancing (also courtesy of Floppy), pickle ball, swimming, and immaculate grounds. This place is no Paragon, that is for sure. We Macedonians know how to keep our stuff nice…

Despite the advance notice, there were two who were in immediate violation of the dress code. Club HJ frowns upon this type of behavior.

Warm-o-Rama:


Long lap around the park reminiscing about the good old days of 80's TV. A little awkward learning that Earhart is not familiar with this whole TV thing…

Tried to go at a 10 minute pace, but got distracted and slightly fired up by all the chatter about all the cool (and fast) cars that Thomas Magnum had at his disposal at Robin Master's house. Not sure Legionnaire has ever seen an episode as he interrupted and blurted out something about Tom Selleck on Friends…Uhhh, that never happened, bro.

Anyway, Gandhi let us know that we were on a sub-9 min pace but he was cruising right along with the rest of us.

The Thang:


Enter the pickle ball court and listen to Law Dog's fascinating explanation of why there are PB courts up here. Something something, county commissioner, something, blah, blah. I think I got it, but just in case tell it to me again because I wasn't listening.

Line up in said PB courts and get ready for 100 ball-boy sprints (rubicon count). And no, LD, we're not going to stop at 50. Why can't you be quiet like Earhart? Groan. I don't think you stopped yapping until about sprint #80.

Now that we're all gassed and glistening with sweat, let's mosey on over to the pool for a little dip. Carefully avoid all the syringes, baggies, and leftover Santa Cruz apparel and line up for "21's." Start with 21 LBC's, swim across, climb out and do 20 BBSU's. Back and forth until we get down to 1. Seeing LD modify BBSU's was a little upsetting, but I felt better when Floppy said he'd feel better if Hombre was here wearing his Vans. Me too bro. He's like a cross between a thrashing skater dude, a dapper executive, and a homeless person.

Head on back around the remaining section of the loop where Legionnaire mentioned for the 7th time that he needs to go see FiA about their shirts. Bro, just run over and give it to them. We're not going as a group. Where is Grylls when I need him. He knows how to act appropriately around FiA.

"All you got" up the last section. Why is Floppy running like Elaine Benes dances? Shout out to Gandhi for being the team spotlight today – even if he did burn out my retinas back up at the pool.

COT:


Not sure what happened here since I had to bolt to get my 2.0 off to her spring break trip. Sorry for bailing out so early!

Naked Man Moleskin:


Haven't been at THJ in a few weeks, but it's always fun to go to a high intensity workout and get our run on. Not major miles today, but pretty much on the nose for a 5k. Even though I didn't turn off my Strava until I made the turn at Kroger. Good news is that was about a 2:00 mile. See if you can beat that, McFarland!
