Mama often told me (in so many words) one should never show up for an outdoor workout in the rain & expect to stay dry. Mama also said there’d be days like this. It was 38 degrees & raining sideways. A few Forge regulars deferred. #unmentionables Others didn’t. YHC’s 2015 Forgy nomination awaited & so I was there early. More noteworthy was Maize’s annual appearance. #truegrit And there was Pergo’s return after 3 weeks on the shelf. He’s a ninja. #maybe
