Moleskine: > Thanks to the pax for showing up yesterday and cobains for my exactly on-time arrival. It was a glorious morning for a workout. > Speaking of glorious mornings, where is everyone? I know it was raining today (Thursday), but yesterday was perfect. Cool temps with no precipitation. If you’re not posting in this weather, what are you waiting for? Do you want to get better or not? Do you want to support the other pax or not? Stop taking the easy way out and get after it. We all have those mornings where we don’t want to get up (I did that last Friday), but I have never regretted posting at a workout, even if Cheese Curd was there.
