Weather Conditions: 67°
Probably the only thing more synonymous with Shawshank than our beloved sprinklers is that no matter what, it is always a glorious morning when the Shank Pax gather together and get after it, well that and Cheers still not being funny. This morning was particularly special due to our front row spectatorship of the SAFE runners pounding the pavement. Even with the neon light show of illuminated runners fleeting by the carefully chosen beat down site, the Pax didn’t let that distract them from putting in the work and striving for betterment. All in all, 11 Pax got better this morning. As for the workout, here is how it went:

DEVO: Opportunity is Now Here
I showed the Pax an image that read “Opportunity is NOWHERE”. This can be interpreted two ways, Opportunity is Nowhere or Opportunity is Now Here. Choose the latter and seize the moment to go after an opportunity. It can be doing something for your health, growing your relationship in faith, doing a kind things for someone, etc. Don’t let an opportunity to do something good pass you by.
