Mosey to bike rack

Improv Merkins (name may need work) – similar to Countdown Clock (name check), but instead of counting the number with each merkin, PAX come up with the next word in a sentence/story. If the story is related to sharting in the ocean before a big race, you’re probably doing it correctly.

COT (special shout out to Noonan and the rest of the Naperville guys)

Fun, small crew that really wanted to get after it this morning. There’s nowhere to hide in a group of four and that’s the best type of peer pressure. Obviously we want these workouts to grow, which they will as the weather turns – but I cherish the bonds that are forged in these smaller groups.

Coffeeteria led to a great convo with RAT, where I walked out feeling grateful for the type of people this waking up early and working out thing attracts.

Whose Q was it anyway, indeed.
