THE THANG: BEACH BODS :beach_with_umbrella: :muscle:

PAX split into 2 groups, switching off as runners for a rotation timer while the other group busts out the reps below. All PAX have to complete all reps, group waits for the 6 to transition to the next exercise.

MOLESKINE: The workout and tunes were admittedly the opposite vibe of the surroundings, but it was a good lift and it proved the point that you’ve gotta put in the work before you get to enjoy the results. Those BEACH BODS will be better on Spring Break for having spent the morning in the rainy Gloom today.

COT:

YHC shared that we just got back from a trip to visit my wife’s grandpa whose wife had just passed away. They had been married almost 60 years. Reminder to the PAX that we’re not guaranteed any time at all, and to take a moment of gratitude for their spouse and share an extra word of encouragement or an I love you today.

It’s always an honor and a joy to join you gents out in Crieve Hall – thanks for the warm (ish) welcome and I look forward to next time!
