YHC pulled into the Root Elementary parking lot at 5:30 to find two Pax already stretching it out. Dice noted the pleasant temperature in the upper 60’s, minimal moisture on the grounds and a general upper body tightness from that (Dice edit for family friendly language) Pull-up-O-Rama brought on by Rain Man at the Jungle on Wednesday. To say I was sore would be an injustice to the actual soreness experienced by YHC the first month he joined F3 (I believe many F3 Pax know exactly what I’m referring to) – so today it was just a noticeable tightness and mild burning sensation while I stretched out preparing for a warm-up. We do warm-ups at the Recovery Road workouts – yeah, get over it.

Opening up at start with four, we were quickly joined by our RR resident straggler to number five today. Always dependable to show up 🙂

Disclaimer: No FNGs so the F3 silent head nod disclaimer. Wavvy joined the usual Recovery Road faithful at workout this am (Not injured but missed his usual Thursday post) Glad to have him – so the RR disclaimer given. If it hurts, stop doing it, if you think it’s going to hurt, don’t do it. Skip an exercise and perform an optional one that works for you. Jump back in with the Pax when we hit something you can do with us.

BOM:
Wavvy took us out – Thoughtful words on how everything builds on everything else, not much exists in isolation. Good things beget more good things and acts.
