THE THANG:

Don’t know what Pre-Workout Gym Bro Vector took, but he was ready to take on Love Circle.

CubCadet was skeptical and waiting for a surprise Co-Q to pop out of a bush.

Without furth ado, time to attack Love Circle!

Off we go with and Indian Run. Stopped at the bridge for some Boo Boo Bearcrawls. Continued the run to the stop sign for some Merkins. Then we took the Mrs. Toolman route straight up the hill.

Reached the summit for a moment of reflection. Asked the PAX to think about all the opportunities they’ve been blessed with in this city and how they can pass those along to others in the city we all love.

What goes us must come down. Also we completed the circle at love circle. Stopped at the stop sign again for some merkins. Continued our run stopped at the bridge for a nice lunge walk across the bridge. Continued the run to the hill near the portajohns. Squats and Merkins at the top and bottom. 3 Rounds.

95% of men over the age of 35 will never sprint again. Not today Satan. Sprint back to startex.

Finished with some ab work and broga.
