Mother nature treated the PAX to some great weather for the second morning in a row….T-claps! Today is YHC’s 41st b-day so what better way to start the day than Q a workout. After Hawg put a plea out on GroupMe the we need 41 PAX to post for the occasion, some of the guys must have felt the urge to head to Pontiff instead of Wolfpack or the elusive fartsack prairie. I was suprised to see 11 eager men trickle in as we began the workout. Here’s what we did:
Usual disclaimer and informed the PAX that 41 would be the number of the day.

YHC had turned to the interwebs the night before to search “turning 41” and jotted down a few highlights to share with the PAX. Thoughts on turning 41 according to the all so veracious Google search:
“You’re now old enough to give advice”
“You know what’s important in life”
“Your kid’s smiles will increasingly become band-aids for the soul”
“As you watch the way people age, you’ll believe fitness and health are increasingly valuable”
And to cap it off, a quote from George Burns – “You can’t help getting older, but you don’t have to get old”
COP concluded with a reminder we need to recruit some new blood and a shout out to The Sky Q.
Thanks for letting me lead. Also, thanks to the PAX for continuing to push me and others. I am confident it will allow us to age gracefully.
