Moleskin:
- As always, it was an honor to lead this morning gentlemen. Thanks for the opportunity.
- Outstanding work and focus this morning by the PAX! Great to see you out for recovery @Birdcage!
- Although the calf sleeves my look a little Richard Simmons esque, YHC thinks they provide benefit on the runs… so they’re staying in the wardrobe. The M says that she’s glad we work out before she wakes up… to save her from viewing the outfits.
- HDHH tonight at Three Monkeys… @Riptide on Q.
- Harrisburg food pantry is always in need of donations.
Keep pushing (and find time to recover too) – Clueless
Always good to recover on a Wednesday. Great mix of stretches @Clueless.
