8 men of purpose got their day started as the shoveled Stars & Stripes flapped gloriously in the wind. Most of the pre-planning went out the window; the Q made on-the-fly adjustments to still meet the objectives of the day:

– Get a good workout while not rolling around in the mud
– Pull-ups somewhere along the way

Mosey past the Carillon to the second turnabout circle.

MOLESKIN:
Well done this morning, fellas. As mentioned at the beginning, YHC would typically have not shown up for a cold/rainy workout, but having signed up as Q previously this brotherhood was good accountability to alter that norm. It’s been >1 yr for YHC as part of the Richmond PAX and it is an honor and privilege to be a part of it, and to have made many new friends in that time.
Good conversation & fellowship at the local Coffeteria afterward. Among other items, the joys of jury duty, speeding tickets, and vendor pricing were discussed.

Good beatdown Goose, there was talk on the mosey to the tennis courts of no time on the ground to get dirty but you made up for it with the tennis court beast. Good n’ filthy!
I miss DogPile. Good work today
It misses you, too.
Nice job LG! Dogpile never seemed so dry in the rain…
We missed you, Wilson–and I DID sport a long sleeve shirt this morning.
