This one was all about fun and variety, not too much of any one thing although I think the first half did pull hard on the chest and shoulders.  Then again, the second half hit the legs with a side of Abs.  And so, the circuit was completed.  Can’t say I would save this one for another day, but it did seem to keep the blood moving and the chatter down.  But then, no Pac Rat or Atticus…. Maybe that was the source of serenity (I love you both, you know that).  

You all were fun to lead this morning.  Pinky Pie seemed to knock the chatter out of you, but it came back at the pull up bars so next time we will do more pull-ups.  Seriously, … next time we will do more pull-ups.

I took this Saturday because no one was taking it.  Not sure why it sat there, we had a good showing.  I have to admit though, few things motivate me the way leading this group does.  As always thank-you for the honor that is bringing you along for an hour sweet agony (or is it sweat agony).  Until we do it again, with all respect, 

All the best!
