10 PAX posted on a brisk Monday morning for a PACT workout. This is a modified throwback to a BACKS workout by Soprano 8/10/2020. Here's how it went down…

Moleskin
- Strong work by all. All men executed the PACT, including a team 1X rep at the end.
- The most upbeat wholesome golden oldies playlist kept spirits high. I'm happy to share on Spotify. Thank you Qbert for the insight on golden oldies' influence on the great metal bands of our time.
- Cherrybomb and Qbert with the Standard beforehand.
- My apologies for dropping the ball on the Kool-Aid. Major fail.
- Thanks to Soprano for the inspiration.
- Thanks to Cherrybomb for the Q opportunity, and for leading part of the Mary.
- Prayer requests: Toxic's dog Mandy going in for Achilles surgery; Qbert's family continued prayers for comfort, including prayers for healing for his mom Cindy recovering from a broken arm.
