Moleskin:

Another ‘Fun Friday’ morning in the books.  We did a little of this and a little of that…plenty of upper body and lower body, with some running in between.  Lots of up and down.  We kept moving to stay warm…. and we got stronger in the process.

Most interesting moment of the morning was when we pulled up to the charter bus in front of the school while we were getting the workout underway.  One lonely charter bus, sputtering away and kicking off diesel fumes.  We thought it might be a good place to hang out for 45 minutes (inside of course). Or maybe the driver wants to join us?  Yeti went to check it out…since he works there and all and a single bus parked out front was a little odd for a field trip.  Unfortunately Mr. Bus Driver had a little AM/PM problem.  It wasn’t that he set his alarm wrong, because he clearly got up plenty early to be parked outside the school at 5:00am.  Just a little problem reading his trip card, which indicated he needed to be at the school at 5:00 PM.  Ooops.  Good thing we decided to run by the bus…else he was going to be waiting a long time for his bus-driving buddies to pull up behind him.

Everyone hung in there well this morning.  Hoover had some issues with the derkins on the bleachers…not enough clearance between the bleachers and the wall for the tall guys to work (some times it pays to be short).  Fletch was killing it up Grandma. Everyone was faster than me on the sprints.  Well done men!  I enjoyed it.
