Naked Moleskinny:

Thank you Abacus for the invite to lead at Area 51.  I’ve hit the workout a couple of times, but this was my first Q here…well on Saturdays that is.  Solid core group of guys.  Kotters to Beaver for getting back into the bootcamps after all the running he’s been doing.  O’Tannenbaum was crushing it all morning even though he complained after every burpee.  Hey, you did 100 total today.  Be proud.  Huggie and Beaver started to get a little quiet about half way through but they kept grinding.  Great work.  The Iron Sheik never gave up.  Dude just kept going. Even on all the burpees.  Awesome job!  Absolute pleasure leading this morning, men.  Thank you.
