Moleskin:
– T-Claps to Stilts for an excellent first Q. Not this kid’s first rodeo and he’s here to stay. Expect more pain in the next episode.
– Need some guys to head out to Irmo Saturday. Seven Oaks Park at 7am. Mission has the Q. We need to make sure they don’t have a letdown after a great launch last Saturday. EH (Emotional Headlock, Invite) your Irmo/Lexington/Chapin friends.
– Tomorrow morning #Amble will meet as normal at Kathwood Baptist. We have 6 or 7 committed for the Governor’s Cup half marathon on 11/9 (off week for Carolina AND Clemson football). You can do this. Commit today to pushing yourself to new heights. I’m doing it as is Fountainhead and many others. If we get 10 committed we can get a discount rate. DO NOT sign up yet though because our discount code will not be available until the beginning of September. Hard commit to this race by telling me or Fountainhead ([email protected]). No excuses.

– If you’re in to kettlebells then head over to #Brickpile tomorrow morning for a kettlebell workout. 5:45-6:30.
