Naked Moleskin:

It was nice to have a cool morning for the workout. The rain was a nice change from the ridiculous humidity of the past few days. Still had to wring out our shirts at the end of the workout, but at least this time some of it was just due to the rain.
Radar really liked YHC’s shorts this morning. He liked the shorter length, and I think we can expect him to be sporting the same style very soon so he can show off those alabaster legs. He told me he doesn’t even have to use sunscreen…sunlight literally just bounces off.
Baracus did his best Skywalker impression during the Catch Me if You Can session. Running backwards can be hazardous to your health, and anyone else on the ground doing LBCs, in this case it was Splinter who almost had 175 lbs of Bad Attitude on top of him. Fortunately I was able to catch myself before falling and no trips to the ER were necessary.
Congratulations Hops on your first workout as War Daddy! Turns out you and I as today’s Qs were also the two oldest! You narrowly edged me out by just a few weeks/months.
Nice job out there men! As always it was an honor for Hops and I to lead you and we are grateful for the opportunity.
