At Flatline, we ran up a level of the parking deck between rounds.

At TRQ, we alternated between fast feet, SSHs and running with scissors between rounds (except Palin and Five Dollar Footlong- they did different exercises as necessary/preferred).

NMM
Shoutout to VG for not only posting in the torrential rain at Flatline (at least when we started), but also for agreeing to Q if I couldn’t make it (wife was having a hard time breathing the night before and I wasn’t sure I was going to make it). As I sat in the parking lot at 5:27 I was hoping that VG wouldn’t be a team player so I could go home, drink coffee and watch it rain, but VG really let me down with his commitment to be there in case he needed to Q.

Shoutout to Palin and Five Dollar Footlong for helping out with the cadence for some of the exercises at TRQ. Those guys bring a lot of energy, and I mean a lot of energy. I, on the other hand, was tired and grumpy and just wanted to drink coffee and watch it rain.

Announcements
Pax are reminded to always do your backblasts when you Q a workout. If you don’t, your pay will be docked accordingly.

There will be a convergence workout at Jamison Park on Saturday, March 7th. The cost of admission is to bring a FNG.

Footlong stole someone’s hat (one of those fancy The North Face models) recently at The Distillery. Because I forgot to bring a hat, I stole it from him. It’s blue with an orange label. It’s really nice. I will give it to you if it’s yours if you promise to prosecute Footlong (and not me) for larceny.

Prayer requests
For Palin and his wife in their adjustment to life with a bouncing baby boy.

Burns and his wife are expecting to deliver very soon. If it’s a boy, he has to bring him to the convergence.

COT
YHC took us out.
