Moleskin:
- If you liked oppressive humidity and sweating your tail off, you would have loved this morning! Nine of Concord’s most elite Pax gathered at ASEC before the rains came to endure the modified World’s Toughest Tabata. The rain held off and it was a good day to stay around ASEC as this was the old man’s first Q in 3 months, so low impact, full body exercise was just what the doctor ordered. Nary a dry shirt in the bunch except for Tombstone, who miraculously doesn’t sweat at all. I’ve heard that may be the sign of a vampire, but didn’t have a mirror, garlic, or a cross on me to test him.
- Great to workout with Phipid and get details of his run across NC. His preparation and dedication to the cause, Champion Autism Network, is a testament to his strength, resolve, and faith. Let’s help him reach his goal of $50,000 by joining the 100 Men Who Care Concord.com . So far we have 27 participants and I’m asking all who are able to please join and contribute to this worthy cause and help Phidip reach his goal. We meet Thursday night July 15 at 7:00pm at Central Methodist Church in Concord.
- A lot of good chatter today to take the mind off the lack of rest in the tabata and good conversation at GWC coffeteria as usual. We’re blessed to have such great F3 friends and know we have our backs! Be a blessing to others always.
- Thanks for allowing me to lead today. Glad to be back in the saddle!
