AAR:
Today was a grueling yet fun workout. It was really cool to see everyone having fun while going through a workout like this. We did a lot of stuff today and the efforts all around were exceptional. I’ve got to admit, running with that Polled Litter with Mater behind me kind of reminded me of a horrible nightmare of being chased by a man of his size! Have you ever been in a dream where you are running away from a scary beast, but can barely move….Yeah, it was just like that because running away from him was impossible as the litter was so heavy that we were actually moving in slow motion. That litter was HEAVY.
And I’ll never look at Bunnies the same again. Those little fuzzy creatures are extremely powerful. After 1 round of the Bunny Hops I was cursing all bunnies to Hell. That move should be banned from all workouts, however in some strange way the more you cupped your hands near your chest the easier the move became…but it was awful either way.
T-Claps to Mr. Hankey who on the way back pushed the team to run with the litter the whole way back. It was a nice push while supporting the teammates. Nice work Hankey.
Finally though, for the record the votes are in…AARP has him beat in the Leg contest. But the vote was extremely close.
As always, it was an honor to lead you today.
Respectfully, The Hoff
