Every time I am scheduled to Q a workout, a certain amount of planning is involved. Where is the workout? What did I do last time? How can I make it more challenging? What I’ve noticed is that I have a physical reaction to the thought of the plan. Like a shot of adrenaline, just the thought of executing the plan charges me. It’s a weird sensation, and it’s a fleeting feeling that lasts only a few seconds. However, it lasts for 45 minutes during the workout. It’s awesome, and trust me, leading a bunch of dudes around ain’t in my comfort zone at all. If you haven’t Q’d a workout, try it. Challenge yourself. Challenge us. Hopefully that’s what I did today for 26 PAX busting tail in the gloom with the following beateth downeth:

Fazio took us out with a superb welcome to the week. Thanks Brother.
Great work today guys. As always, it’s an honor and a privilege to be associated with such a good group of men. I try to challenge us every time I lead, but what most if not all of you don’t realize is that you challenge me more during my Qs. Thanks for coming out, working hard, and starting the week off right as rain.
