At what age is hip-replacement a good option?


13 bi-peds and one canine showed in the 'gloom' of a beautiful Monday morning.  The Q was trying to hide the fact that he was still having trouble getting around after Friday night's 13.1 mile ruck.  Turns out that exercise actually helps gets some of the pain and soreness out of you.  Who knew?

REFLECTION

Try to remember that, as you woke up this morning, someone – elsewhere – was taking their last breath.  Don’t waste this day that God has given you.

 

Psalm 118:24 This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.

 

MOLESKIN

– This workout was almost a carbon-copy of one YHC Q'd back in November.  I guess creativity was limited during the season finale of The Walking Dead.  (as a side note: if you look at the backblast from that day you might notice that someone inserted the '1-second sphincter release' into the 6MOM during that workout too.  I won't mention any names but his dog joined in too!)

– No idea if the Lambeau in the LKN PAX is Cutler or not but I tagged him anyway.

– Might need to find a new race track for the short laps.  The speedy-dry in Turn 4 makes for a treacherous situation, especially if you're already loose.

– Q truly wasn't sure what he was going to be able to do for a workout and even thought of having someone else hold his Weinke #IfYouCantDoIt-Don'tQ_It  #NoClipboardQsAllowed

– Great to see Nittany getting back into the swing.  We've missed you, brother!

– As always, I am honored to be allowed to lead and I am privileged to call you my brothers.
