It was soggy and the bricks got heavy, but 8 pax defied the #fartsack this morning and showed up ready for what turned out to be a full-body beatdown. 3 pax decided that the beatdown wouldn’t be all that hard, so they elected to put in a cool 5 miles at #Stridelite XL. All pax packed a lunch and left everything out there. Excellent work by all.
Conditions: 40 degrees and soggy

YHC rolled in this morning with a plan to get as much work in as possible in an hour. The men of #Shawshank gave all they had with little to no rest between exercises. Kudos to “Noonan” for making the trip from #F3Columbia to see what all the fuss is about at #Shawshank. He knocked out the trifecta of #StrideliteXL, #Beatdown, and #Coffeeteria with enthusiasm. The boys across the bridge should be proud. Also, #Tclaps to Mayhem for posting at #Crypt and then racing to #Shawshank to spend the last 15-20 minutes with his brothers. It meant a lot to YHC and speaks to the type of #IAm3rd guy he is. By the way… #hashtagsareoutofcontrol
