  • 5 guys & 5 rocks

    YHC took the Q to ensure limited running. YHC was hurting due to Rosetta’s sprint fest at SOT 2 days prior. 5 gloom warriors arose for a rock style exercise beat down.

    COP- we did stretches and exercises.

    The thang- We did a ton of rock exercises. At one point I heard Tobit hurting due to the many sets of curls and holds. Did a few short mosey’s to equal 1 mile.
