Conditions were perfect for a keep-it-moving kind of beatdown this morning at Kevlar. YHC was setting up some tires with the help of a few of the early birds when the clock struck 5:30. Quick disclaimer was given and the 11 (soon to be 12) of us took off.

Moleskin:
Great group of guys out there today and everyone was getting after it from the opening bell. A few of the pax were either recovering from or nursing injuries, so there may have been a little bit of modification. Certainly no lack of effort out of the 12 in attendance though. The fasttwitch duo of Alf and TurkeyLeg made quick work of both the hillwork and runs to the pavilion, as did the Witchdoctor/Simba combo. There were several others out there pushing it start to finish, but man it is Really Dark over by the Tennis Pavilion. Despite recovering from illness, Brown was battling out there and was kind enough to call out our 1 and only 10 count. As luck should have it, the rest of us were holding low plank at the time of his 10 count (#coach of the year). We covered 2 miles and change and knocked through lots of reps. Couple of those small SUV tires had plenty of traction left as they were a motha to get started on the grass. Big thanks to LittleMike for taking us out this morning. As Curd pointed out, his prayer resounded as if it was delivered over loud speaker since he is a foot taller than most of the pax.
Thanks to Horsehead and Bulldog for the opportunity to lead today. Hope both of you guys heal up soon and will be back joining us in the gloom.

Solid Friday morning workout, lots of reps, great mix of exercises, cardio and strength. The workout flowed quite well for how much we did…kudos to Fletch for keeping the group moving for 45 minutes. Not a fan of the deck squats, but it’s good to be challenged and pushed out of your comfort zone.
