Moleskin:
The normally hearty Union County PAX may have been deterred by the rain, but not these men. Counting on someone to be there to lead (apparently none of them know what a Preblast or what Twitter is, quick demo of Area51 app at the end of the workout), they showed up ready for whatever the Q called for. Fortunately for them, the Q likes to find the warm and dry and stay out of the suck.

When you have a 20sec rest, that should be the time for Mumble Chatter, but apparently it’s during the easy opening 40sec exercises when the Chatter started. Bananas always one to probe the PAX broached topics such as Snow Ruck (and how it’s fun to go watch 3 Go Rucks, but never dip his toe in himself), how beautiful the high awning looked in the warm glow of the entrance lights, and probably 3 other topics, not the least of which was a daily faith lesson about how to trust yourself on 1 arm Burpees.

Mcstuffins, the Chilean vet, has jumped in full bore and rarely misses a workout. Perhaps a little refusenik (something about rotator cuff on the Christian Laetners), but YHC is 2nd guessing that one after only pulling 2 or 3 in a row at a time.

Enron was there and rivaled Bananas with stories (OK, not really) and seemingly went on an excursion to find some dry wall. Apparently he is selective or was trying to avoid Silicon for unknown reasons.

Silicon fresh off the Mud Run where he didn’t get too banged up, told us how to get faster by chasing Middle School girls. Apparently it’s working for him…

Soft Pretzel was like OK, whatever, sounds good, all while probably wanting to Q jack and get to lying in sticky mud to make us as tough and carefree as he is.

A great morning to be out! Makes you realize it rarely sucks to get a workout in, but it rather sucks to sit at your desk all day wishing you had…

Thanks for the opportunity to lead men!

Great morning to be out with the boys. I brought my Bluetooth speaker but it’s not waterproof so that’s the one topic I stayed quiet on. I saw Silicon pulling away in his car smiling at his console like Matthew McConaughey in a Lincoln commercial from all the 2nd F convo. You really hit it all today B. Great workout.
