Maybe it’s impending fatherhood, maybe it’s the sun that rises prior to workout’s end, maybe it’s the visualization on Epoxy in his ice skating outfit apparently he likes to wear on weekends – just consider yourself lucky I wrote a backblast, and unlucky if you are just reading this and were not there to experience it. #itcouldalwaysbeworse

COT

Took suggestions from everyone on the Nameless Hill’s name. Big Moe & Mulch “something” seemed to be popular. I vote for Big Moe Mulch. What happens when they use the mulch up? Guess you had to be there. Back in my day they had piles of mulch on top of that wee hill!

I counted 146 Merkins today.  How many Merklins did you count?  Now do back and drink for every merkin you read during this backblast.

  • TARP is Qing BB Wed – be there, Cade is being adapted as a kettle bell.
  • All other workout’s canceled Thursday except Heavy Metal. Be there, or Post Alone. Cold and Alone.
  • Get with Lamp on the Komen Run 5k
  • Go Ruck – did it
  • Pray for Marley.  He has to work Monday.  He also needs a haircut, and potentially a new  real job.
