Moleskin- 100 percent humidity, light mist and fog awaited the pax this morning. As did a running intensive upper body beatdown. The pax met the challenge head on w/only a few moans and groans during the warmup and during the last few sets of merkins at the lightpoles. Not sure about anyone else, but the last few reps proved pretty challenging during the merkin round. Can’t recall how many lightpoles there were but i’d say somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 (that’s 200 merkins during that round). Lots of guys running hard between the poles with Buttermaker, Good Hands and Header leading the charge. Floor slapper and Semi Gloss were pushing hard during the partner work as it seemed everyone was getting after it. Not too much chatter out there this morning, but if anything happened to catch anyones eyes or ears, please post in the comments.
