MOLESKIN:
-Feliz Navidad idea was stolen from FiA LKN. Thanks for the idea, Splitz. It is way tougher than it sounds.
-The last round of 12 days was in cadence thanks to a suggestion by Tantrum. He's always trying to strive for the extra mile and get others to go along with him. #inspiration
-Memo is back in full force. This was his second workout in as many days. He reminded me of a great idea: Share your goals with others and they'll hold you accountable.
-Good Luck to the Huntersville Halfians this Saturday. If you're not running, help volunteer by contacting Turncoat who is heading up the volunteer venture.
