As 2 of us were stretching it out and talking about how driving to gloom with the heat cranking is making us soft here comes Beaver rolling in last minute with tire pressure gauge in hand. The TPMS sensors in these vehicles don’t stand a chance with this guy! This is what went down…

Great morning and it’s good to be back in the saddle again. The YHC has been dealing with his kids and bodily fluids going everywhere. Looking forward to Saturdays work out at the lumberyard for Pool Boy, Beaver and my self’s 100th post give or take 1. Pool boy has the Q so I’m sure Cindy’s are involved. Come check out the newest AO! Maybe enjoy some coffee at our local spot here afterwords.

On to Journeys to grab some coffee and YHC took us out.

3 hims rolled in at 0529 ready to throw some weight on there backs and hit the trails. A lot chatter from Yukon and Wildwood this morning about IT data centers. They both have backgrounds in IT work. Wildwood does IT consulting for data centers techs. Yukon works with the state on IT data audits. Knocked out 3.14 miles this morning in the gloom!

Numbers, Names and Prayer Request

Yukon Cornelius took us OUT!

3 guys showed up on this Monday morning with a lot of complaining. Wildwood took an innocent bunnies life on the way in and Beaver just wanted to put some skates on and play a little street hockey. The YHC was up late trying to figure out what to do with 2 stuffed elf’s and eatting every Reese cup he could get his hands on. This is how it all worked out……

Mosey

Circled up and finished with some stretching and chatter. Numbers, Names and Prayer Request. Great simple workout this morning with a lot of chatter. Everything happens for a reason and people will come and go for different stages of this journey. We are all grateful for what we are building here in New Kent. Another one knocked out!

OUT

Four strong studded Clydesdales came trotting in at 0529 on this beautiful frosty morning. The stars were out in full force and shining brightly upon this pax of HIMS. These guys looked cold real cold! So I threw on some James Brown on the speaker and we hit that sweet Bermuda grass……

Great work out this morning with the pax. Things got a little weird when Wildwood started getting fresh with the Cindy. I’m not sure what I witnessed but it was a lot of moaning going on and a little bit of shaking. I’m grateful for these guys to put up with such random ideas of mine for work outs. Off to get some coffee…..

Numbers, Names and Prayer request. YHC took us OUT

A 3-mile ruck in the cold is no joke props to Wildwood for getting up at 0500 and getting after it for his first ruck. He’s been here in New Kent for about a month now and he’s loving the winery’s and the golf courses that we have out here. I have a feeling we are gonna see this guy a lot. He’s a great addition to the pax out here in the east end!

OUT
