For YHC this day began at 5:15 and has been about non-stop until 10:00pm The only break was to watch the Pack lose yet another basketball game. Not sure why I continue to watch, but eternal hope means something I guess. Anyways, YHC kept seeing backblasts being posted for Saturday’s workouts, even one for Friday and thinking that the Pax are waiting on me to post this message. It appears that the Cougartown back-blast will be posted prior to midnight, as it should be.

With just one more football game in the ’16-’17 season, YHC was inspired to do something on the football field of one of the best AOs in Natville. This place really has it all. If you have not been you should make an effort. When YHC arrived, it was much darker than expected. There was worry if the pax would be able to read the ques at each station. Arriving back to the I. shovelflag with just a couple of minutes to spare. The Pax were all regulars and donning gloves. It was too cold to stand around, so we moseyed.

Announcements & Moleskin:

  • It was cold this morning. Verified by the fact that the water bottles used to hold down the sheets of paper became frozen during the workout. T-claps to Nails going with bare legs. burrrrr
  • The cold also claimed YHC’s phone as it shut down and would not restart after being out in the cold for over an hour. Good thing we did not need it for an emergency. The other things said have faded from YHC’s memory.

Appreciate the opportunity to lead.

PAX: TPS, Heisenburg (WD), Nails, Bodett (WB)
