There was no cute theme for the workout this morning… It was too damn cold for that and being that the holiday season is over, I couldn’t easily think of one. I did get some pull up assist bands for Christmas so I decided to bring those along with my dip bars to spice the workout up a little bit. 30 seconds from start time and we only had 6 guys, but a few stragglers rolled in which brought our total to 10. Quick DiCCs and then off for a mosey around the parking lot.

Thankful for everyone who showed up today despite the frigid weather. I was surprised by how much my pain tolerance was increased by the fact that I was Q — I had my gloves off for a while during the first part of the workout so I could operate the Tabata timer and I wasn’t as cold as I thought I’d be. I also ran more than I usually do which is a plus. It was good to see Soft Pretzel out in Waxhaw getting his passport stamped. @fusebox was an encouraging presence as usual… much appreciated. @tuckandroll took one for the team prior to the workout and timed a lap around the parking lot + Mt. Chiseled for me. I don’t think I heard @loafer say “OH YEAH” during the workout today so it didn’t completely feel like a Chiseled workout. The @possePRIUS rolled up mid-workout and was a welcome surprise.
