Thanks to MarketTimer for bringing me out 8 years ago when Stonehenge was at 630. Took two months for MarketTimer to convince me to wake up that early. At the end of that workout, they announced the time was moving back to 6a. Didn’t matter, one time and I was hooked. Thanks to all that continue to push and keep us accountable to show up to another workout. It really does help to have some accountability out there.

Thine Only Moliest of Skines
~4.8-5.0 Miles for everyone today. Deck Ramps add up. Had it rained any harder we were going to do an entire workout of Ramp-4-Square. Glad that wasn’t the case.
One-Niner – Good to see you. Been a while but you were pushing hard through the ramps. Taking lead on a couple.
Wild Turkey – this guy leaves nothing out there, a brave regular who you can count on to push you.
Frehleys – A true respect. Despite saying he was never double-downing again, he doubled down today. Here you are reading this and didn’t make either workout. Respect given.
Taco Stand – Stamina – Took mid-way lead on the ramps and didn’t hold back. YHC was trying to catch up to you. Good one dude.
Sweetwater – #respectsoon – You hit the ground running hard in F3. Thankful for you and your leadership of the PAX in your short time with us. Great work out there today, as always
Rousey – You worked hard today. Mileage number achieved. Keep at it.
I though for sure when the air-presses were called that Rousey was F-in with me for calling him out at The Maul on Wednesday (and on slack). He has a special way of counting. Its like you are on radio delay. You know, when you call in to the radio station and are talking but have the radio up in your own car, which in turn goes back into the phone and back out the radio but now more delayed. Reminds me of officer donny pressley.
Here you go buddy. Practice out loud. Quiz will be given at any workout you attend.
