Moleskin
- Impressive that 4 of the 11 men ran to the workout this morning. Beetlejuice, Moses and Primo are apparently in marathon training mode and took the opportunity this AM for ~3.5 miles to the AO (D/T was nice enough to bring his van to transport the motley crew home). Metallica did his normal jaunt to/fro. And you know what, all of these guys were at the front of the pack during the rest of the workout.
- As an NC State grad, Moses has a long-seeded distaste for the Four Corners.
- Broke out the Makhtar Ndiaye to pay homage to my first F3 workout many moons ago, when I was like 12. Moses was there (he EH’d me after all), so he asked if I remembered who led the workout, and hence the Moniteur reference.
- Not so sure Crack was as enthused by the “lift” Moses gave him during Four Corners.
- Lots of mumblechatter about appropriate exercises at the PAINinsula AO, particularly during Four Corners. Think B2W at Hollywood VS was bad, this would take it to a whole new level (real live v. inanimate objects).
- Hollywood broke out a college T-shirt this AM…I’ll give you one guess as to the War Baby.
- Our FNG had absolutely no problem fitting in this AM, which leads to the following questions: a) why did it take Dingo so long to EH him and 2) what name will we bestow upon him when he returns? Moses had a strong line to FNG…I wore a white shirt to F3 once too. The white shirt might just play a role is his name???
- Soprano has the Q at Mighty Jungle tomorrow – I'm sure that will be fun (insert sadistic laugh here).
- Always a pleasure.
