‘Twas a lovely morning on the border of Cary and Apex, where Miss Laura Duncan once cooked some chard on a stone. 18 men gathered to pay tribute to the Millennial generation with a goal of 2000-count exercises: 1000 reps and 1000 meters of running. Dodging the expected deluge of rain, we had a fine time in the cool, soggy gloom…one might even say “moist.” YHC had found the Millennial workout on the Exicon and thought it would be a great way to challenge the PAX to a well-rounded beatdown. Since this was YHC’s first A-Team visit, and first A-Team Q, I paid a site visit on Saturday to figure out the landscape. There’s a cool little “Elevate” workout track, but its soaking wet and maybe a little cheesy for our group of burly men. I sorta remembered that the gate is locked but didn’t take into account how far a run it is back to the main parking area. Oh well, what better way to start the workout than a nice 1/2 mile mosey…

NMS: You fellas are real HIM for coming out on a holiday Monday morning in the rainy/moist gloom to fellowship with your brothers. You all worked like a bunch of hosses this morning, which I found inspiring. The 100 burpees at the end was a little aggressive, but I look forward to repeating this workout and leaving more time at the end to actually finish - WE CAN DO IT! I’ll give fair warning on Slack for any of you who want to opt out…
Thanks as always for your inspiration and leadership!
