Thank you PAX for coming out this morning to Gladiator for a Feast and Double Helping of Pain.
A special thank you goes out to @dola1212 for giving me the opportunity to bring the pain this morning to the PAX. It is an honor and a privilege to lead.
Chewy and Omar, it was great to meet you.
Caboose, I just realized that every time we talk in the gloom, you always say you didn’t want to get out of bed. I’m glad you continue to make the choice to overcome the fart sack.
Sweet C, it’s always great to see you.
Funkey Town and Norberg I hope the workout was challenging enough. I don’t remember even hearing a grunt from either of you; I guess I was the only one complaining. Great work today.
And Amen, I always appreciate your hard work and enthusiasm. I also like your choice in Mary… JLo is always my pick too. Keep up the good work brother.
Gentlemen, I hope you have a great rest of your week! See you in the gloom.
