- Grip would have brought us to double digits but he was doing an indoor “off the books” workout. Hmmmm. Discussion around format had….consensus reached pretty quickly on that one.
- Running backwards up the biggest hill in the hood sucks. Period.
- Winter gear was out per the backblast. Although Toro had the same sweatshirt on that he wears in the summertime.
- Black Flag can step on the gas when he wants to…..providing some context to the “aka” above
- Mojito went missing on the second rep up the hill. Speculation of mid-workout deuce…..turns out his shoe was untied. Tough to manage that one with the winter gear on. Glad we found him.
- Dry January more than halfway over. Some good discussion around no alcohol alternatives. Hopwater, Hoplark and Athletic Brewing IPA are good ones.
- Charlotte 10-miler and 4-miler race in Ballantyne on 2/10. Mojito and Slow signed up. Carpool from hood. Nice flat race with good swag. Any other takers?
- Great work fellas. Awesome start to the day.
