In the midst of the visit from the PAX of #Brickpile at #Thunder on Tuesday, Two Buck casually-reminded YHC (oxygen deprived from an infinite number of hand release merkins) that YHC had the Q at #Brickpile on Thursday.

Yesterday while planning this morning’s workout, YHC wanted to keep things simple. Simple running, simple exercises, simple repetitions, multiple sets. It was simple, alright.
