Moleskin:

Appreciate all the work the PAX put in this morning. I was originally planning for a track-heavy workout, but when we made our way down there, the men noticed a few ice patches in the immediate vicinity. Fireman Ed wisely suggested we run a lap together as a group to survey the area, and as we ran through a minefield of black ice it became clear that the Q needed to call an audible. Many thanks to Ed for limiting the casualties.

Our FNG (invited by grizzled Basecamp vet Hairball) works in info security at BofA. In a moment of inspiration, one of the PAX suggested we call him ‘Snowden’, and when the FNG visibly cringed at the idea, we knew we found the perfect nickname. Snowden proved to be a strong performer in the gloom this morning, hope he’ll be back again soon.
