What had happened was:

Chicken Little should be commended for his willingness to Q but even though there are two Chicken Littles in the _playhouse it isn’t possible for him to Q both Watchtower and The Rock on the same day (since they’re at the same time and in two completely different locations). #birdbrain So I took the Q for him.

A few minutes to go and all these guys are rolling out these soft foam yoga mats. Sorry guys, this ain’t broga. We won’t be needing those.

A few warmup exercises, but not TOO much cause we’re gonna need all the time we can get for the Thang.

Some workouts are just a grind. There’s only 8 exercises and you do them ad nauseum. It takes grit and mental determination (as much as it does physical) to get through. But sometimes life is a grind too. By getting up early, dealing with the cold, the discomfort, the aches and pains, the lack of motivation…that all builds mental toughness to better equip us for the aches and pains of life. Thanks for gutting through it today. It wasn’t easy but we all persevered.
