COT

Moleskin:

T-claps to the entire pax today!  We really pushed ourselves and will be feeling it tomorrow (and the rest of today!).  The interval training is perhaps a little more intensity than usual, but we were all encouraged to modify as needed, balancing pushing ourselves for improvement and being smart about listening to our body.  Hopefully we all hit a good balance and will emerge stronger for it.  Thanks for indulging YHC on this one – you all know how I hate running…

T-claps to Low Tide on his first co-Q.  He has been asking to Q for a few weeks, so with the rain, YHC thought it might be just the two of us, so why not?  Even with the larger group, we took a chance and LT Q’ed a couple exercises and Mary.  He did great, experiencing the same challenges of any first time Q.  In training up the next gen, the future of F3 is secure!

Remember:  moderate intensity isn’t supposed to be easy!  Otherwise, what’s the point?  Keep coming out, keep smartly pushing yourself (modifying as needed), and we’ll all see the results.

Thanks as always for allowing me to lead this pax.  It’s truly an honor.
