Eight of the greater MIL region's finest made it out on a damp and dreary morning to renew their commitments, Re:flect on the reasons that they aspire to become better versions of themselves, and :Solve just how they will overcome the barriers that prevent them from reaching their goals. In other words, we basically got our collective Re:Solve on in a most convincing manner.

Moleskine
- Very solid start for the first workout of the New Year. It was a little wet, but we definitely made do.
- The lines on the parking lot marking off the 20 yards are angled, so it was a little challenging in the beginning to maintain “lane integrity”
- Car pulled up to the locked gate of the school at end of workout. Pax thought it could be Oktoberfest, but alas, it was not
- Ventriloquism is the art or practice of speaking, with little or no lip movement, in such a manner that the voice does not appear to come from the speaker but from another source. Grip has mastered this skill with his flatulence. Specifically, Pax heard the noise, did not witness any accompanying lip/sphincter movement, and 911 was promtly blamed for the gaseousness. America’s got talent indeed
- Resolution season is alive and well. Long lines and crowds at your local YMCA. Wait 'til February to go to the gym
- Slightly off topic, but 911 likes Q’s hop profile in his Black IPA, which really means a lot
- Tough end to the Penn State game last night, but will take some comfort in the alma mater being relevant again
- Great work and Re:Solve men!
