The Castle Cross Revisited

It was great to return to the Castle with the Q. A small trip to the Dominican and three weeks of vacation mindset kept me away. Hopefully I can feel the pressure from the Pax to show up to get me there regularly. In typically Castle fashion, the question was asked, ” Beamer are you only showing up for Qs now, ha ha?” The Pax know how to interrogate, ha!!

Weather was perfect. We got the unusual high 70s and a little muggy but not to be for a Summer in Columbia.

10 Pax decided to show up and get better.

The Thang: I wanted to provide the Pax a little reminder of one of the more painful workouts I’ve had at the Castle with the Castle Cross.

Disclaimer given and small apology of my lack of attendance.
