Moleskin: Your higher power will keep giving you lessons until you learn them. If you ever feel like you keep doing the same dumb things, or keep getting stuck then that is on you for not listening very well. This morning was a great example of focusing on what you can control. You can’t control the weather. You can’t control the temperature. You can’t control the condition of the AO. You can’t control what time it starts. Unless you are the Q you can’t control what exercises are on the menu. You can’t control if there was unexpected traffic on the way.
You can control your perspective, your mind and how you respond. If you can do those things in adverse circumstances, then you can do them anywhere.
News: The CSAUP BB is up.

Thank you fellas! There is something about running in a pack after a hard workout in the pouring rain. Well done men!
Excellent beatdown in the rain Hardywood!
Super words of wisdom – to take us out this morning !
Way to work guys..
See y’all in the gloom..
Man, great Q Hardywood. 6 months ago, if you had told me I’d be delighted to be out there doing that workout in those conditions I would have thought you were talking about somebody else. Great words too – well put.
Strong beatdown, Hardywood! That looked like a ton of fun and all kinds of madness.
Amen brother, well said indeed
You have to really want it, whatever “it” is for you, to be out there doing this stuff in conditions like we had this morning. I love the dedication and positivity of this group of men. Well done guys!!
Great work leading us through the elements Hardywood. That video is a disturbing treasure of our past, were those upright APDs I saw in there? Need to check with Offshore.
Great Q and great message! Way to work gents!
I sent the video to Corporate last night. My modesty reflex is still a little too strong to do an all “Jazzercise” themed workout.
Great job guys. Sorry I missed it. Darn SOP challenge – if I wasn’t so far down that path, I would break out my skin-tight blue leotard top and black sweatpants like the guys in the video and show off my boogie body.
Ok-most disturbing video I have seen in a long time! Sent positive vibes at 0530 from VCUHS…graveyard shift!
Hardywood, well said! See you boys at the gloom..
Didn’t read one word of the back blast, but damn I miss the 80’s!
