Thanks for joining me in the gloom this AM. Always a pleasure to lead the men of Highlands. Last time we did this workout it was about 20 degrees out there. Felt good not to be on ice sheets coming down the hills. However, while there was no ICE.. There was a sniper in the hills and he took aim @Stoli’s calf on the last hill. @Stoli never had a chance as he was distracted by @choppers enchanting tales of weekend activities at the Clark Creek pool. But seriously… get well @stoli, looks like you pulled it pretty good.
-Please keep @sandmans father-in-law and family in your prayers. He is battling the big “C” and is battling a nasty infection.

Good lead today @Bing …. wait, I meant @Google, yea, @Google. You kept us guessing today. I know he said derkin, but what did he REALLY mean?
It’s never good to see a man go down like @Stoli did today, I hope you and Google both heal up quick.
@Google Ugh. That is a lot of ladders. Looks like a tough one.
@Stoli ~3 years into this thing it is amazing it has not happened more often. Each of us will have our time to be on the IR. Hope it heals up quick.
Only the “pop” in my calf could have distracted me from the exciting Chopper weekend recap conversation.
Greatly appreciate everyone’s concern and prayers. Down and out for awhile. See you all in a few weeks.
