Moleskin

• Judging from this rag tag crew, a return to chilly temperatures had the most of the Pax pulling out anything from the back of closets or from attic boxes to put on that might be warm…most of the Pax, save two that is.
• First, Long Distance emerged from his vehicle this morning in a brand new Reebok sweat suit…grey jacket with yellow stripes down each side, along with matching britches…backwards mesh hat and striped tube socks a distant memory…in their place, this new, dapper workout look.  The man shamed us all and rubbed it in with a shout of “Suffer!” during his extended 10-count in the stop motion squat pivots…good looks have already gone to his head.
• Second, Leroy showed up all #GQ with the collared polo shirt buttoned all the way to the top.  While it was underneath a long-sleeve t-shirt, there was no way to hide keen fashion sense…nor the disappointment of the rest of the Pax who showed up in old t-shirts worn over a simple long sleeve Under Armour.
• Runstopper, with his burpee and hand release merkin prowess, literally ran circles around us in the four corners…it had several of the Heels in the group reminiscing about the good ole days of Coach Smith watching Phil Ford drain the clock in a 19-17 UNC victory.
• Mission impossible peter parkers are hard.
• Kotters to Centurion site Q Escargot after some time on the IR.  Great to have you back in the gloom brother!
• Solid work out there by all.  Always an honor to lead such a great group of men.
• Great send off into our day by Hops.
