Moleskin:

After a couple weeks of non-moderate workouts when YHC was Q’ing, the promise was made for a moderate one today.  Hopefully, the promise was kept, with opportunities to modify throughout.

YHC joined himself for a preKB workout this morning and had a good sweat going and finished just as Strange Brew pulled in, followed by the rest of the pax.  The sweat was still flowing during the COP and SSH, when YHC needed to wipe some of it out of his eye.  At this point, the arms and legs became disconnected in the SSH.  Upon resuming, the arms and legs were exactly opposite, which took YHC a few cycles to decipher exactly why it felt so awkward.  About the same time, Strange Brew did figure out what was wrong and so informed us all.  He promised to add it to the backblast, so it might as well be included here.

#Kotters to Salt Lick, coming back from a bulging disk that has kept him from our company for several months.  Didn’t miss a beat today.  Can you earn #LarryBird and #Kotters in the same workout??

Welcome to LIFO The Mouth, who joined us during the Fence circuit. #betterlatethannever

Great to have Strange Brew’s brother, Moosehead, join us today.  Welcome!

During the TD circuit, talent scouts identified Pele and Salt Lick as possible QB’s for our next Turkey Bowl.  Both were on target.  The rest of us, not so much, but at least we got some running in.

The football field was a little muddy, as the frost began to thaw.  Several of us had a few slips, with Moosehead taking it all way down.  I’m sure he’s just not used to seeing the ground uncovered this time of year.

The Weinke was written to include running the yard lines with karaoke, shuffles, backpeddles, jogs, etc after all the TD’s were thrown, but YHC forgot to consult said Weinke.  Sorry to deprive you guys, but I think we found adequate ways to otherwise occupy our time.  We would of had to cut something else to fit it all in, and we wouldn’t have wanted that.

Thanks, guys, for the opportunity to lead today.  It’s always an honor.

Aye.
