MOLESKINE:

Great effort by all today. Peeper was flying around the building, solid work. Not too much mumble chatter, except for the groans when the Monkey Humper was called. Your glutes and hammies will thank me in the morning. Slim Fast tried to close the hill, consider it payback for the track work Tuesday, pal! Always an honor to lead, thanks Geraldo and Slim Fast for the opportunity.

Moleskine:
Great work by all the pax this morning. Not a lot of mumble chatter, but did hear some moans and groans during several exercises so I hope it was a good challenge for all. Sound off in comments if I missed anything. Thanks for allowing me to lead, it was an honor as always.
