Happy New Year, but Man is it Cold in Florida!

QIC: no-ski
PAX POSTED: notorious nyc, dillio, bartman, down-under, dba, heisenberg

For Florida standards, it was cold today. 38 degrees and windy, but thanks to Sky Q no rain. 7 HIM posted for a beatdown in the cold, windy gloom. Few fartsackers stayed back, but they sure will be back out soon. It is New Year after all and it’s time for those New Year resolutions!

Men bundled up today with plenty of sweaters and hats. YHC wanted to make sure that everyone stays warm through the beatdown, so we were on the move as much as possible.

  • I appreciate each and every one of you men. I know it’s not easy to get up in the AM especially when it’s much colder than what we Floridians are used to.
  • Let’s continue on this journey of getting stronger physically as well as mentally. 
  • Let’s strive for better second F’s and third F’s this year. Let’s make 2018 even better than last year!
  • My offer still stands. I will do 100 burpees on my own if we fill out the Q schedule by the end of this week! See me suffer men!
