If you haven’t made the trip out the eastern most side of F3 Naperville, tomorrow’s a great day to do it. It’ll be perfect workout weather at sunny and 43°.  No coupons necessary, we will move around a little and then focus on one of the most important muscle groups that gets neglected too often.

HC in thread below!

Circle of Trust

Be good to yourself…give yourself a break.  In this fast paced world, it’s very easy to feel like you’re not doing enough for your family, your work, your friends, etc.  Sitting on the couch to watch a show or letting your kids play a video game is almost frowned up.  If your engaged in taking care of everything that’s important, and have a nice balance, don’t beat yourself up.

I was a little taken back with the 4 extra people that showed up today (only 7 HCs), I need to remember to prepare for anything.

Stations were a little sloppy…Moonlight made sure to let me know that.

Couldn’t find my speaker this morning, music on the phone isn’t the same.

Great mumblechatter today. 11 is a great number for a workout.

There was some merlot spilled today…one of the greatest compliments a Q can receive…you know who you are.

Coffeeteria was excellent, laughs were had with a bunch of good dudes.
