Welcome Dolly! (Student and friend of Sledge. Works at UPS, hence ‘Dolly’)
Peach Pit took us out with some strong words
Moleskin
-I feel I need to mention that when Pax was ordered to grab a rock, it was clearly suggested that it should be ‘traveling size’ as we would be covering some gound off campus. When we were 90% done with the workout and working our way back to Carroll I happened to notice MacGruber with what appeared to be a piece of Stone Henge. Nice work carrying that thing around while doing the aforementioned drills.
-It doesn’t seem possible that a year has ticked by since my ill-advised week-long themed #5Q5Day 50th birthday celebration. I remember each of those pretty vividly and recalled them during the week leading up to my bday this year. Scary to think how quickly life is passing but I’m doing pretty well at cherishing each day and living in ‘the now.’ I have a lot to be grateful for.
Preesh for putting up w/ me Saturday
