Return the blocks and return for COT. No time for MARY today, though we got some along the way.
The Skinny:
1. Fact: Toxic only did 25% of all exercises today. He said something about being weak and a little afraid of the dark. The others weren’t listening. They were grinding it out and singing “God Bless America” a capella. It was lovely and inspiring. (Except for the whole Toxic thing.)
2. Turncoat moseyed in for extra credit from home, dodging black ice and snow drifts along the way. He accepted a ride home at the end. He’s no dummy.
3. Amen intentionally timed his arrival to miss the SSH that he knew were coming. To his credit, he powered through and completed way more than Toxic.
4. The block push is a new favorite. We’ll be doing more of those.
5. We reminisced about the days of Travolta forcing us to constantly be moving and then throwing on the Blast-off ‘Mericans. Good times.
6. Wondering when we’ll see Carpet Bagger in the gloom. Soon, no doubt. Though probably not in the ice.
7. Once again arrived home (yes, for a hot breakfast) and was waxing about what a great way that morning workout is to start the day.
8. Thanks for posting, Gents. See you tomorrow.
