WARMUP: There was a significant emergency response at the WEP parking lot so we moved our kettle bells over to an adjacent parking lot. We moseyed over to the new playground which as we learned, due to the lack of pull up bars, is not as good as the old playground. We made due by doing some warm up exercises and made our way back to the bells. Now, due to a woman now working out solo by our kettle bells, we moved again to the long Springs parking lot.

It was an honor to be able to lead the workout this morning. This was diffident from most workouts because of the number of times we stopped to talk. However I felt it important to share with the guys what is happening around them. We also were able to congratulate Double D in his hand off of Nantan to Esso. Double D, thank you for you service to the pax. You have always been someone who ask the tough questions that challenge us and I thank you for that and what you did for our Region during your reign as Nantan. Esso, I look forward where you are going to take us and your energy to lead. We have a bright future ahead.
