The Break-room Moleskine:

 

Thanks to the pax for all the support and well wishes the past 3 months.  You are all great brothers.  And thanks for putting up with this workout today.  As it's June 1, it shoulda been the 1st Thurs Challenge, but I felt the need for a special workout today…  and I've had the time to plan it.

 

The 5 times up and down Deerland Ct (bit of an incline) could've been a lot harder if we went all the way to the top, but no way was that going on the weinke.

 

Next week is FNG and Kotters week.  Put your hard-core EHs out there and bring some guys back, or out for the first time.  Imagine how many lives we could impact if every man brought just one FNG or Kotter next week!!!  YHC has the Q again at The Wilderness next week and it will be FNG-friendly, so please show up with an unfamiliar face!
