Soft kit training for throws and strategies in melees Saturday. I’ve been running too. Sunday was full kit but I immediately started cramping all over. Been a while since I had that issue.

I ran lunchtime D&D in a conference room. My boss asked about trying D&D. Some fantastic sessions then.

In jr high school football I had a “did we just become best friends” moment when we realized a bunch of us were playing D&D. We were already friends cause “team” and all but this was a special extra moment.

I did. The armor protects but doesn’t stop them. I was absolutely out of shape for that fight. The armor is heavy and exhausting. Not as bad as then.

Working on it! (Ha, I’ll never get there) This was just a part of my first fight ever. Really just a glorified exhibition.

It’s evergreen!
