19 Pax (1 FNG) came out to @OF3Louisville for Face’s birthday celebration and were reminded how much turning 40 sucks but #gettingbetter makes up for it.

Now that I can finally feel my fingers again….this morning’s recap.

Who: Q- Face, 19 Pax- Gillespie, Diablo, Mayberry, Android (FNG), Butcher, The Situation, Red Snapper, Spinal Tap, Cutlass, Pope, Glen Ross, OJ, Loco, Scratch, Trump, Bean Counter, Vincent (respect), Splinter

YHC pondered the content of this morning’s workout for a while before settling on the routine.  Do I go easy since it’s my birthday and my Achilles is still shredded from my last run, or do I throw everything I have at this group of #HIMs knowing that they’ll rise to the challenge?  Easiest question I faced all day….all in on option 2.  After some disclaimers and ancillary chit chat, we were off to the big field at a brisk pace.  Speaking of brisk, it was 34 degrees.

You may see a pattern emerging.  We moseyed back to the coupon field and partnered up.  Upon reaching the field the coupons were nowhere in sight…this concerned YHC but luckily we found them under the pine trees.  After wiping off the remnants of whatever animal sacrifice ritual/witchcraft they had been used for, we jumped full on into it.

Just when the Pax thought we’d be heading in for some Mary or other tom foolery…our special guest showed up….Jack Webb…and he wanted to celebrate my 40th too.  The Pax dominated JW and made him leave before we got to cake and ice cream.

After a quick mosey to the tennis courts, Mary came to the party and gifted us with a sucker punch to the #quad

To close out the morning our old buddy #Trump led us in some Al Gore claps, high knees, and fast feet.  The burn was felt by all.

We then moseyed back to the flag for intentions, announcements and the NAR/COT where welcomed Android to the @F3nation….hell of a day for your first buddy, but you rocked it.  I closed the gloom by thanking the Pax and sky Q for helping to make me a better (and healthier) husband, dad, son, and man and while some may wince at the thought of turning 40, I’m in better shape than I was at 30….so bring it!  Now off to dominate another Thursday.
