Five brave Men conquered the fartsack this morning in Oak Ridge despite predawn rain concerns and a late night presidential debate hangover. Fortunately the rain held off and allowed the PAX a thorough total body workout. Still fresh off his recent BRR run, YHC was anxious to give the legs a rest this go around so today’s workout covered upper body and core through a series of monkey hangs, jump roping, merkins, and of course the bear crawl that left everyone gasping for air. Despite the burn and pain, the five of us got better today and I’m grateful for the opportunity to lead the PAX. The workout went something like this…

Moleskin: Despite the gloomy weather, the PAX performed well and maintained a positive spirit throughout the workout with healthy mumble chatter. TCLPAS to Bodette for a trip to the Cadet Lab for a second week in a row. It aint so bad in the country is it? How about bringing some city folk with you next week! Wolverine, way to kill the bear crawl as we all followed your lead to the end. Heisenberg continues to impress us youngin’s (#RESPECT) and I appreciate your AO leadership and opportunity to join you in the gloom each week. Convoy shut us down today with a healthy dose of American Hammer that I was really hoping to end at 10 count, but way to push the PAX and finish out at 15.
