5 pax showed up for what was to be a fairly moist morning at Day Zero. There was some talk about just heading straight over to Starbucks and making up a solid workout for the backblast. I would have done it and I’m sure that shocks everyone. But since Frasier loves the rain so much we decided to push onward.

Moleskin
Let’s be honest. No one wanted to be there this morning. But in the end it wasn’t that bad. I can say that after last night, it ended up being good for a few of us to sweat out some extra curriculars. Bugeater was very quiet today. He must have gotten after it last night. And speaking of Bug, poor guy was partnered with Turkey Leg on Tuesday and Frasier today for running exercises. Man you gotta wiggle your way towards the slow guys. I expected Purple Haze to have some weaker legs after his date last night but he was strong today so we all know what that means #strikeout. Thought bringing out the punching bag was a great idea until the Indian run carrying it back to the school. Haze made the comment that it weighed more than him – nothing to brag about. Once the rest of us got tired of carrying it, Mighty Mite stepped up as expected and carried it the rest of the way for us. Was fun beating the crap out of that thing. If there was one performance on the punching bag that would prove someone needs to travel with back up to a scrum, Bug would win that award. As always, thanks for letting a degenerate like myself lead.
