The NMM:

• A warmer than expected morning greeted us.
• HighTide got out early for a pre-run, which made this workout extra challenging for him.  Nicely done!
• I did not put together a playlist of music, but instead relied on my Amazon Prime music 80s Rock station to supply the tunage.  It took many of us back to our High School days of trying to get somewhere with our girlfriends.  Others it took back to hanging out in their crib.
• Alf notices that our circle kept getting closer with each 80s love ballad.  It began to get a little uncomfortable.
• It’s good to see Cheese curd starting to get the hang of the KB!
• Thanks for the opportunity to lead, I’m grateful!
• Thanks Tulip for taking us out!
