We Ain’t Got No Soccer Arms!

16 men gathered in the January cold…Wait, that was 2 days ago…

16 men gathered in the refreshingly warm gloom this morning for their weekly Peak payment.  YHC was the substi-Q for Tough Skins who was recovering from a bout with food poisoning.  I figured with Joe Davis being 2 days out, we would take it easy on the legs, which means it was upper body day at the Peak.  With the official booyah-approved disclaimer given, we took off and did the following.

Announcements:

• Joe Davis on Saturday
• The Mouth has been challenged to raise $1k for a co-worker who has a child participating in the Special Olympics on 1/21.  If Mouth gets $1k, he has to jump into Lake Norman.  Contact him for more info.

Moleskin:

• Tough Skins, hope you are feeling better.  We look forward to having you back at the Peak in a couple of weeks.
• Thanks as always to Booyah, Nomad and Slim Fast for the pre-run.  My Thursday just does not feel complete without a Peak pre-run.
• Mouth, what can I say?  Without you and Slim Fast, Jack Webb would not have been nearly as fun.  I so appreciate the critique of my form, my count, and whatever other jabs were thrown in there.  I will strive to improve on both the next time I Q.
• Welcome to Space Heater for coming out.  Come back anytime.
• For those participating in Joe Davis on Saturday, good luck.  Your legs were spared today at the expense of your upper arms, so go have a great race Saturday.
• Please chime in with anything I might have missed.  As always, I love this crowd and it was an honor to lead.
