#BoM
- Whiskey took us out, asking the Sky Q to help make us better husbands, fathers, and men.
#NakedManMoleskin
- For those keeping track at home, today’s totals were ~1.2 miles and ~400 calories burned with #PlentyOfPain.
- YHC tried to mix it up a bit today with some wall work, partner time, plenty of burpees #birthdaygift and some new exercises #crowdpleasers. Walk Like and Egyptian is sure to make a comeback.
- Our honorary member Mahjong continues his perfect attendance record. He’s starting to engage with the PAX with a friendly “hello” before our workout began. #SlowlyHeadlocking #ABH
- Plenty of burpees today killed any motivation for extracurricular Spartan Race training. #MaybeTomorrow
- Welcome back Whiskey after a few weeks on boondoggle up in the mountains and down at sea level (Cuba). #WhereAreTheCigars? #WelcomeBackCotter
- Plenty of Mumble Chatter today, with echoes in the Hall of Pain to boot!
