NMM
Who knew five minutes of Moroccan Night Clubs could wreck you? Today’s beatdown proved you don’t have to run far to get a good workout. Thanks for the opportunity <@U790WHUKC> and happy birthday <@U6AS1MBPG>. And great to catch up with our Ruckers at the end.

Remember to celebrate your wins louder than you mourn your losses. Progress deserves more energy than regret. Should’ve, would’ve, and could’ve steal too much joy. The windshield is larger than the rearview mirror for a reason.

Aye!

Started to do that again, but I just didn’t wanna. Was hoping more PAX would gripe about it. But they didn’t they were either too cold to complain, or knew I might actually go through with it if they did.

Mosey some more
some squats, lunges, cossak squats

Mosey some more found a hill
bear crawl, donkey kicks, back down
crawl bear, donkey kicks, back down

Mosey some more found the basketball court
