The Octonary – A Remembrance

Nothing like a Pax of 26 and an FNG to really make a VQ a nerve racking experience. YHC appreciates your patience and understanding for the learning curve.

Octonary – relating to or based on the number eight. YHC likes reps with a definitive end that gives a goal to reach. Eight worked for easy counting that YHC mostly got. It also allowed a variety of exercises along with running.

Mumbled through the disclaimer. Got started.

WARM-O-RAMA

  • SSH 4CICx8
  • Sun Gods 4CICx8; taeper & esnir
  • Side Lunge Stretch until grunts were heard
  • Downward Dog

The explanation of Snake Charmer was not acceptably defined, so here it is. Snake Charmer = Indian Run of a different Indian. Just a Snake Run, trying to give it a funny name. Tried. Failed. Moved on.

Mosey to Garber rear parking lot, found a partner for a few exercises.

Prayers for BitCoin’s 2.0’s knee surgery.

YHC closed in prayer.

Thank you for allowing YHC to Q. I really enjoyed it. Hate that the Pax did not get to enjoy the final two cycles of The Octonary. Will speed it up next time to get all 8 cycles in. Did not see as much leakage as I had hoped, so maybe the 8 will do it. Or just drop the easy stuff…

Respectfully,

Gander
