Is anyone else as crazy as I am….

3 PAX awoke on All saints day with determined hearts to Post at Shawshank despite the malicious weather that was predicted.  Little did they know that the beauty created on the morn would inspire their souls to complete a work out in conditions that send most men to stand next to Ferns.  Truly YHC had the Q and woke up about every 2 hours to make sure he did not oversleep and miss his first traveling Q.  As the snow began to accumulate I was elated to see that at least 2 other men had as much “uncommon” sense as I, and decided to prove that, with their F3 brethren.

Conditions:  36 degrees F, winds NW at 18mph, white “stuff” falling from the sky.  Is it Snow or is it Manna?

Who is that and what is he doing here?

Prayer and DISClaimer

Well… maybe this will work…

MOLESKIN:  REALLY GREAT GETTING TO BE WITH SOME PAX THAT I HAD NOT MET BEFORE. EACH MAN PUT IN A GREAT EFFORT TO GET BETTER TODAY AND MAKE OTHERS BETTER AT THE SAME TIME.  THANKFULL FOR THE SNOW AS IT KEPT US MUCH DRYER THAN I HAD EXPECTED.  ALSO, DID NOT GET VERY SANDY AT THE VBALL COURTS, LIKELY DUE TO PROTECTIVE LAYER OF SNOW.
