Moleskin:
1. Ten of Concord’s most elite Pax gathered at ASEC on a cool, cloudy 41 degree morning to
endure a repeat of the World’s Toughest Tabata. The rain held off but it was a good day to
stay around ASEC as a few Pax were nursing injuries, so low impact, full body exercise was
just what the doctor ordered. Constant chatter, corny jokes, and the opportunity to work
out with our F3 brothers made for a good day!
2. This workout was a repeat of one done last February and is considered a “Classic” by the Q.
A lot of good chatter today to take the mind off the lack of rest in the tabata. Popeye’s
version of Barishnikoffs was comical and might be added later as a “new” exercise for
physically challenged individuals. Lex questioned the Q as to why some exercises were so
similar, but was told to never question the Q!
3. Pray for Quentin (Tombstone’s high school friend), Anita(Mighty Mouse’s Youth Minister’s
wife) , and Hipbone’s daughter Lacey. Also, F2 at 26 Acres Brewery next week. More details
about that from Spud
4. Thanks for allowing me to lead today. Always a pleasure and always remember to thank
your lucky stars for being born in the good ol’ USA!
