Moleskin
– we ran out of time to do 20 full minutes for the part honoring sergeant Sakai. I think the 14 minutes we did was still effective.
– Nice push by all this morning. Both workouts were tough.
– I’ve always enjoyed RED Friday workouts. They are tough and meaningful.
– Hope the knee issue isn’t too serious Pony Boy.
– Remember to always thank those who are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for this country. They are the true heroes in our society.
