Disclaimer said early in warm-up because Grip almost went down on the curb. He recovered but made us all nervous. We took care of him with some extra windmills…..his proclaimed favorite exercise. Rating was 5 stars coming out of warm-up. That may have been the high point.

Moleskin

  • Everybody got credit for the workout. Some didn’t go all the way down on the merkins, but Q did say modify as necessary. There was some back and forth over text last night as to minimum thresholds for backblast credit……
  • Grip LOVES Thursdays at Cobalt and Windmills!!!
  • Lots of chatter. Didn’t hear it all. The pain of moving buildings for work, employers pushing to get employees back to the office, Dreamy seeing lots of severe colds at work but COVID and flu negative, super bowl wings, etc etc
  • Did anyone see an airpod at the clubhouse? Q lost one at some point during workout.
  • Thanks Surf for guiding the Pax home and handling COT. 
  • Good work today fellas.
