10 brave souls joined me on this ridiculously cold morning. I am not sure why. Maybe they just enjoy the feeling of intense pain in their fingers , face and lungs. Whatever the reason, they showed up to work hard so that’s what we ended up doing.

Moleskin:
The goal was to keep the PAX moving without much time to contemplate how cold they actually were. I believe that was achieved. Still felt as though we were running in slow motion (maybe it was just me). Not much in the way of mumblechatter as it was just too cold to talk much in the 9 degree weather while trying to catch our breaths. However, when I attempted to call out one last set up Derkins at the end of the workout, Foundation was quick to point out that we were short on time and needed to head back, saying something about having to get to work. At the time I believed him so we headed back without completing the Derkins. Was I tricked? Did he really go to work today, or even work for that matter? Maybe I need to go hang out in Lawson for some intel.
Ackbar rolling in looking like Deflated today, with a “Hey, this is Ackbar”. Dude, we knew it was you. #funny. Not even sure I remember what Deflated actually looks like without the faceguard he’s been wearing since October. Recalculating still rocking the shorts (although I think I did see him cold at one point, pulling a Doc and trying to warm up his fingers). Foundation is getting faster by the day, Tuck is likely in the process of recruiting him to run somewhere. Jingles getting a little prep work in before Joe Davis tomorrow. Great Pumpkin worked hard today, never stopped. Gator Cub regretted his decision to show up from minute #1, but kept trucking anyway. At the rate they’re posting, Mad Dog and Halfback will be leaving everyone in the dust soon. I definitely see a Spartan Beast in their future. Doughboy is happy now that basketball is in full swing so he can finally start wearing his Kentucky gear again.
Until next time. Thanks again.
Announcements:
