Every morning before an F3 workout, YHC feels he is prepared and all things are layed out to take and coffee is set to brew. And every morning, somehow someway, YHC rolls in hot. Meh, that is just the way it is. Last to arrive, but goodies were in hand!!!

WARMUP:
Apologies to Spinal Tap, no Motivators this morning…perhaps an upcoming workout will be Motivator-centric??? Hmmmm…
