A cold start to Thanksgiving week
20 men braved the first sub-30 degree weather (I believe) to start off Thanksgiving week right. This was my first VQ at The Matrix and I appreciate the opportunity to lead. We were off at 5:30am for a quick run around the school for warm up and we circled up at the lower lot.

Crap. I did jump-ups instead of calf raises. Does that mean I get extra credit or do I have to go back and do the whole thing again (not going to happen).
Nice job, Huggie! Good brisk start to the day.
Key random observation of the morning: Hairball was the one guy without a hat. And it looks like his hair is getting shorter — either that or he’s getting taller — if you know what I mean.
Great job Huggie! You left off the people’s chair/chest press and lunge walk to curb. Don’t want anyone thinking we had it easy this morning. Solid Q!
Yeah Hairball is an example of two extremes. Went for heavy snow gear last week at Fast Twitch when it was 60 and this morning went with summer wear at 29 degrees. The weather channel has a great app. Do you even Google, bro?
Check the schedule for convergences on Friday and Saturday.
