Hot Dish\u2019s coworker.<\/p>\n<p>NMM: Honestly, I&#8217;m not sure which is harder: getting out the door at 5 a.m., fighting the fartsack, or getting BACK out the door at 6 p.m., fighting the couch and TV. Every time YHC makes it out to High Life, I\u2019m glad I did. Much thanks and respect to $5 for bringing out Prakash,now First Class, and Venkat, now Wicket.<\/p>\n<p>Prakash is an engineer with $5 who works on high-end, luxury airline seats. He was wearing a shirt from a premium brand called Rabbit. First Class seemed appropriate.<\/p>\n<p>Venkat also works with $5 and in his free time he said his family enjoys movies, partying, traveling and\u2026watching Cricket. I think the only thing we all knew is the arch thingees are called Wickets, and here we are.<\/p>\n<p>It was an honor to be with this group. The MC was epic, the workout was sufficient, and the temperatures were pretty fantastic. It MIGHT get better, but I doubt it.<\/p>\n<p>Frostbite, I gave the keys to the ultimate frisbee team for safekeeping.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a Q swap due to hockey tickets, my time has come to lead the most elite evening workout held on a Tuesday in Dash Pax-landia.\u00a0 So let&#8217;s get this workout in, get all the Fs, and get on with the evening.
