A Pax of 17 Took to The Sword….

Also in attendance but not signed up on the website, Red Rider, Rocker, Renaissance, and FNG Mark Mosley (Pheonix).

It was about 5:30 PM yesterday when I realized nobody signed up to Q The Sword so it was up to YHC to devise a plan.  After a weekend of celebratory events, I needed something to start the week off in the right direction.  I was running a little late this morning, but was pleased to see about 10 Pax eagerly waiting.  After a few pleasantries and a few more Pax showing up, the clock struck 5:30 and it was time to get to work.  Here is our story….

Moleskin:

What a great start to the week.  I always enjoy the opportunity to Q and hope I didn’t disappoint.  I thought I had a pretty good workout planned that would challenge the Pax until I saw Scrappy ahead of me carrying a rock and doing his laps and I still couldn’t pass him.  Q fail.  Firestone was nipping at Scrappy’s heels on all the laps today, strong work by both.  Everyone was putting in the effort and getting stronger.  Welcome Mark Mosley, now known as Phoenix.  There’s a saying around here “It doesn’t get easier, you just get better at it”.  Thanks for following me around this morning and hope your day is better for it.  I know mine is.  Until next time, I’ll see you in the gloom.
