As YHC was thinking about today’s post, he was stringing together some of his favorite exercises from various AO’s experienced over the past 18 months or so.  Getting needled by Banjo at Rush Hour for not Q’ing there yet prompted me to want to spice things up a bit too.

Also, running 8 miles Sunday afternoon when there hasn’t been a lot of run base recently, made for a shorter run segment.  My legs were toast.  You’re welcome.

McCants came in hot on the run, the pax were restless and Franklin took off with 30 seconds to go.  So I guess we’re ready.

Thanks McCants for taking us out.

4 Respects, 1 hate, 21 mehs

Thrill to “lead” guys.  I had no idea how crazy y’all are until we had 25 (then 26!) men out in 38 degrees and drizzle.

Oh.  And I’ve got to work on my outside voice.  Franklin reminded me of that.

This one was definitely not cleared by the site Q’s.
