Great crowd this AM posted to get a little snotwoggled in this December heat. We totaled a little over 2 miles during bootcamp and did a few burpees and other fun exercises.

Stretches are good

Honored as always to lead the men of Shawshank this AM. Among the embarrassing low-hanging-fruit TWSS jokes, Brick forgetting his gloves, Duff’s continued counting issues, and that time Coon Dog made me laugh, the men of The Shank put some work in.  Oh, and the stretching. We’re getting old. We don’t stretch enough. Let’s change …
