I believe out count today was 15…

Today was the first official field trip of the Southside Briarscrestian’s. It was great getting back to a sort of normal workout and seeing different scenery other than the LARGE ASS LOTS in the Briars and Crest. Schneider pushed the PAX today with mileage and a good mix of all muscle groups while on our field trip. In a shocking surprise no Lawson peeps were hiding in the bushes to surprise attack us, which was appreciated.
