Chatter for the Q started on Tuesday as YHC tried his best to get everyone possible out to Hammer today. Little did YHC know that the AOQ and Nantan were going to be in Atlanta today and no matter his efforts, there would really be no chance of breaking 20 pax. That aside, any opportunity to lead the Hammer pax is a blessing and 17 men got out of bed for the workout, while only 16 stayed.
Conditions: 58 and clear, near perfect
The Thang:

- Isaiah 43: 2-3: When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through the fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God, your savior.
Moleskin:
Jumping rope is hard, and is something we don’t do enough of. Jumping rope for approx 12 min each wears your arms out more than one expects it to. Today’s workout was hopefully high intensity enough for everyone and got the heart rate moving significantly. Great work by all.
