Introduction

For my 2nd Q this week, being on the doorstep of the Wednesday IPC, I planned the workout to not include merkins and squats, as we will get a heavy dose of those tomorrow.  I did include running as part of the Thang 1 – 7 of Diamonds workout, but when I mapped it out it would only be a total run of a little over a mile, so I thought that would be a good amount to get us ready for tomorrow and not tax the legs to much.  I wrote out the workout on a few sheets, gathered up the lights and cones, and uploaded some new tunes for the mornings workout.  As I sat on the couch watching some TV last night, the HCs kept rolling in.  Prior to heading to bed we were up over 20,  It was going to be a solid crew.

Morning came way too early.  I think I finally fell asleep at around 11:30, and the alarm went off at 4:30.  I headed over to the site early to set up.  I got the cones, workout sheets, and lights out of the car and set everything up on the diamond.  The morning was a cool 56 degrees and the field was full of a slight morning fog with the grass sporing a fresh coat of morning dew.  As I was setting up, I saw trusted site Q, Flo, pull in and plant the flag.  After all was setup, I headed back to the flag as cars began to stream into the lot.  I noticed we had 3 HC’s being pulled, but we still ended up with 23 PAX strong.  It was 5:15, so we got the party started.

As always it is a pleasure to have the opportunity to lead the PAX and we should all be thankful for the stage that F3 Naperville provides us to better ourselves day in and day out.

Thanks to all that came out this morning.  We all finished together.  We are stronger together.

Keep Pushing.  Until next time….
