Keeping It Real

Northeast Tennessee Arrowhead (Indian Trail) Johnson City

It was a cool and cloudy morning in the upper 40s. Actually good workout weather as 13 brave Pax posted. There was a level of excitement in the air.  Maybe it was the disrupted parking. Maybe it was Jake being on time. Maybe it was soft background noise of Johnny Cash’s Hurt or Snap’s Power. In any case, it was lively and we were ready to go.

  • 300 Monkey humpers – Moroccan nightclubs (nope, not real) to the fire hydrant and back
  • 400 J-Lo’s (2ct) – Shoulder pretzels (not a real thing) to the fire hydrant and back

To amplify the mood, a playlist of cover songs (not the original, real version) was provided
