Naked Moleskin
Someone got it right when they noted how heavy those little pavers can be after a few push presses. Q was disappointed no one else (Joker particularly) grabbed the other “special” F3 brick. Joker was Larry Bird all morning so I’ll make sure he gets a special brick next time.
Good push by the entire PAX as running with 2 bricks is harder than you might think by just looking at those innocent looking things in the trunk.
Annonouncements:
All sites are gatheing old shoes for Charlotte Rescue Mission. I have not been to Saturday am workout there (9am) but Rev Florida swears it is special. Check out web site for past backblasts
Tutoring has started up so contact me if interested (pchepul@gmail.com)
As alwasy, it is a privilege to lead such a great group. I highly recommend it for anyone that has not yet led. Don’t worry, few Q’s have more fails then me.

When I first picked up the “skinny bricks” they felt like little trinkets that you could just put in your pocket and go on with your day. But after spending 45 minutes with those smooth little pavers I developed a love-hate relationship. Could feel the burn after the man makers, shoulder presses and John Travoltas. Great mix of strength-cardio out there today. And loved seeing Chelms roll in at 5:29AM, drive over top of RunStoppers sweatshirt [which of course was on the ground, because we all know that Runstopper isn’t afraid to shed layers at any time].
Holy bricks Chelms! It’s awesome to mix things up and the bricks are a hydra first. I see joker especially liked them. Some great pax names I see in attendance today. Good job fellas! Q Running over stoppers sweatshirt is classic. Did he pick up the vehicle so he could get his sweatshirt back? I’ll be back to regular action next week and look forward to running around the OP AO again.
I am shoe Q for Hydra and need pax to bring old shoes. Your mission – 1 pair of shoes to Hydra. Goal: 20 pairs!
Next up next week – Stage Coach!
