What we lacked in numbers, we more than made up for in grit. 5 Strong decided to leave the safety of their warm bed and swing some iron in the slightly above freezing gloom.

Moleskin: It has been a while since I’ve q’d Meathead given that running has taken up many of my mornings over the past year or so. It was great to get out and push it with a pretty tough workout this morning. Doubles were a nice throwback as well. Bulldog, Hightide and Voodoo all veterans of Meathead were crushing it as usual with HT and VD taking in a few miles PreRUN – solid gents. We did have a relative newbie this morning in Bloomer who made it through a tough one. Hope he keeps coming out!
Only had to suffer through a handful of commercials with the Pandora radio, but they seemed to come right as we were transitioning to a different set of exercises. I had a blast this morning – hope you guys did as well.
Announcements – F3 Paintball announcement will be coming soon. Bulldog
is looking at suitable dates (likely to include 2.0s 10+).
