We didn’t “technically” get through all 12 rounds. I blame Zima because he was slowing all of us down.
If this backblast looks familiar, it’s because it was the same group of exercises I planned for Run ‘n Gun last week, but we didn’t get to because…see wha ha happe
7 layer texted me the night before and asked about the effect of weather on our workouts. I told him we don’t sweat the rain (and we usually find the nearest parking deck if it rains).
As sure as Goofy always gets his backblasts from the next day done and published before I get my backblasts from the previous day done and posted, it wasn’t raining when we showed up, but started after all of the pax got familiar with the routine. The Q took a vote and Root Canal said his vote was to stay at the amphitheater so we stayed at the amphitheater.
Working out in the rain isn’t really all that bad (unless 1/3 of the workout consists of laying on the ground and doing core exercises). #iblamerootcanal
This was 7 layer’s 4th workout (and 3 of them were Q’d by YHC). When you appear to be the glue that holds everything together…it’s awesome. 7 layer asked for my autograph after the workout.
