Moleskine:

It is something about my Q days at Ascent. The cold wet mornings keeps some pax away and today we were competing with a big ceremonial send off at The Rock after it’s near 2 1/2 years of existence being ran by site charter members Runstopper, Hops, and Mall Cop. They are to be commended as that site has been absolutely exactly what it is named, the Rock. Great work gentlemen.  Good luck to Gummy and Hopper as they will carry the site lead going forward.

Enjoyed the 2nd F element of this workout today High Tide. We covered most of the AO offered up at Olde Providence. We went shopping, went into OP neighborhood, ran on football field, climbed on playground, went to concession

Thanks for the opportunity to lead.
