Round and Round We Go
8 men gathered in the Misty gloom (with Gloom) to run to Short Pump Park where we ran around the loop while doing different exercises from Salt Lick’s huge cardboard Wiki. (Had to reduce the count by 50% after the first two exercises). Hit the 3 mile mark and gloom struggled a bit with the humidity. Prayers for Pinto’s colleague going through tough times.
