Nomad Whisperer

I felt like the ‘Nomad whisperer’ this morning. We originally expected just one Nomad (Squiggy), but lo and behold, 2 more attended the Tuesday beatdown. Every time I turned around, a nomad came out of the woodwork. Welcome and thank you for attending! It was a pleasure to get better with you three men! Clearly your AO’s are doing their job as you guys crushed everything we threw at you. T-claps for all.
The Scene: overcast with a few pending light showers, perfect temps (mid-upper 50’s); short sleeves or bust!
With 6 PAX in tow, we commenced the warm-up lap down to the riviera with some karaoke and then back across the swamp bridge, crossing over swamp thing, and collecting a rock for some coupon work.
Disclaimer delivered, warm up routine (almost forgot!):
– SSH x 15 IC
– IW x 15 IC
– High Knees x 10 IC

BOM:
1) Prayers and hope to support Angus’ cousin
2) Gus’ incredible story about a runner in this past weekends’ marathon left us in awe. Also, prayers for a friend in Chattanooga who is battling every day, given his window of time left in a recent prognosis; despite that, he’s still in a position of influence in his organization and is making the most of each day.
