11 SOBs stepped out of their cars this morning for a pleasant surprise, the return of The Worm. The Worm is a long standing member of the PAX and an institution in Ballantyne workouts. Over a year ago, he suffered a knee injury and never fully recovered after his surgery. Last Friday he join the SOBs from a few drinks and we encouraged him to join us at Foxhole on today.
The air was cool and the pain was brought. Here’s what we did:

Moleskin:
It was great hanging with the fellas in The Gloom. This is the start of my 4th week back in The Gloom since my injury and today’s workout reminded me that I have a very long way to go to get back to my normal self. I’m back on Q again tomorrow at Bagpipe. Hopefully The Worm can make it there too.
