  • Its Getting Crowded

    Two is fun but three is better as was determined by the early risers looking to get some Broga in before a brutal Hutton beatdown. According to Handshake’s M, that thought it is nuts to Broga at 4.30, this is what went down.

    Big emphasis on hamstrings with some work on the hips and calves. Pleasant surprise that Doublemint was waiting for YHC and Kubota to make this morning a group session. Getting limber for the upcoming nuptials. Limited pops from Kubotas knees proves this stuff works.

    Great to see numbers increase. Look forward to warmer temps. Broga goes south next Tuesday at No Toll – 5 am start.

We are a strong group and will support each other in the decisions made!

    MOLESKIN

    YHC broke the Q code, albeit unintentionally, but is now Jacka$$ for the day.  Sincerest apology to all.  As things went a little sideways, the oversharing became somewhat secondary.  Or maybe YHC just missed it.  Did hear that Doublemint has standard and electric toothbrushes packed for the week ahead.  Great coffeteria as always.  Don’t pair with Ronnie for movie trivia unless the category is about Jackies.

    ANNOUNCEMENTS

    Great to have new faces at FW, please come back
