YHC Had the opportunity to Co-Q with Chewy on his VQ, and is simply posting the balance of this BB for Chewy until he gets log-in access, after which I expect him to burn up the website with posts.
20 Pax posted this morning at the Woodshed for a trip down memory lane. YHC celebrated his VQ and almost-5 month F3 anniversary by reliving the thorough #beatdown (care of Shade Tree) on YHC’s first post on March 10th. YHC remembers it well. Maybe not so much the details, but he remembers thinking things like “these people are crazy” and “why would anyone do this to themselves” and “will it ever end” and “I hate burpees.” But, YHC came back and here we are doing it again (with a few, slight modifications so that I could hopefully remember the number of reps).
