COT

Moleskin:

• YHC promised a full body workout, and I think I delivered. There wasn’t much running today unless you count the stairs, which we absolutely count. I love the way the stairs crush your spirit and legs and raise your heart rate.
• Who knew that hopping up stairs on one leg would be so hard?
• For the record, we did not do what the schmucks in the picture are doing.
• Too bad we ran out of time. I had gassers on the weinke too.
• It was a small group today, which led to great 2^nd F.
• Form started to suffer a bit during the Alabama Slamma, but everyone pushed through. And I didn’t see any face plants, although Lego did have little rubber pellets all over his forehead?!?!? Not sure what exercise he was doing.
• T-claps to Mr. Brady for running to/from the workout, even after an a.m. run and Night Train yesterday. Plus, Mr. Brady wanted to do a third set of the playground circuit. Q refusenick.
• Thanks Gullah for the send-off.
• Sound off in the comments if you have anything else to share.
