You know when Burgundy is the Q, there will be Merkins and running. He did not disappoint. Awesome work by the PAX this morning pushing through the pain and excellent mumble chatter as well. Most of it is not suitable to retype, so we will just say spirits were high and we’re lucky none of us are running for political office. YHC appreciated the last second Omaha to take the warm up. Welcome FNGs Kindergarten Cop and Pot Hole. You guys found a strong group of men that want you to return so we can all get better together. Triple claps to the men who doubled down this morning with a 2+ mile pre-run before Burgundy dropped the hammer in the workout. Thanks to our brothers who crossed the river to join us this morning. It’s always a good time when we have Santini, Pusher, Package, and Menthol in the fold.
