Moleskin:
DDs and I went back and forth all day yesterday trying to decide if we should cancel the workout or not…after all, even CMS cancelled school for the second day in a row. After much internal debating, I decided to hop in the car and head over to PDS to check it out for myself. A few patches of ice here and there, but overall there was plenty of dry land, and track, to keep us all upright. The Charge is on!
Overall the mumble chatter was pretty light this morning. Some chatter from many about how we entertained the kids yesterday on another day off from school. Get ready for day two of that everyone. I will be braving the roads for the ride into work today. #escape
Hope everyone enjoyed the merkin-heavy workout this morning. I’ve done this workout a few times (or at least one very similar) and it seems to be a hit. Like to focus on one area for a good portion of the time. Have fun washing your hair and typing on your keyboards today.
As always guys, its a pleasure to lead.
Thanks Babyface for the strong prayer to take us out.

Baracus is a man of efficiency this morning… not a minute wasted at the workout… and with his backblast posted prior to 7AM.
Good work out there this morning gents. Sorry about the crop dusting on the track… especially Stone Cold… what I did to you was just wrong; I could have at least given you a proper warning. Like I said, if you are close behind me, breathe through your ears.
