Additional PAX: Crawfish and the newly named "Clarkson"
16 men decided to put with a very green Q for his VQ at the Foundry. The PAX was very lively. Plenty of witty banter that seemed to quiet down a bit as the workout got underway. I decided to add some friendly competiton by doing some 1 on 1 sprint racing to work on our speed and braging rights.

Welcomed this morning a FNG for his first post this morning. Max did a great job keeping up. He's in constant EH from Crawfish and myself, so we hope to see him again soon. We also got to name Matt on his second post. Who would have thought that he would be named after his second favorite artist, Kelly Clarkson. But alas, what doesnt kill you makes you stronger. Well done, Lego.
My first post was on May 17th, 2017 at Mad Sci. After a 2-3 week EH from Lego, I decided to give this weird exercise I had heard about, but never had the backbone to get up at 5AM, a go for the heck of it. Although I barely survived (and nearly spilled my merlot) I was officially hooked.
Fast forwrad to now, I look forward (on most days) to waking up way before I'm used to and embracing the suck and exercise with the PAX. It has truly been a life changer in so many ways. I'm grateful for the support and encouragement that I have received from several members of the PAX to not only continue to come out, but to also lead. Your leadership and encouragement is greatly appreciated.
It was a privilege to lead this morning and I look forward to leading again very soon.
