Light run to the pond for two laps and 5 American hammers at each bench – 60 in total. The PAX did so well they earned a bonus of an additional lap with air presses at each bench.

Ill repeat what I said at the end of the workout:
In my 9 years my fitness level has definitely increased.
I don’t have a six-pack.
I still carry a mean dad-bod.
However, Ive now done a handful of half-marathons, relay races, and other CSAUPS (stupid shit)
All in the process meeting a bunch of awesome people.

Thoughts and prayers to Tootie and his family.

Thanks
