The PAX were warned on Twitter: don’t be afraid of 1,000 reps. Appropriately 13 faced their fear and posted on Friday the 13th. MaBell was sporting a shirt from the Bull with sleeves that had been removed with surgical precision. He must own several professional-grade seam rippers. With mumble chatter at a medium-low, the clock struck 5:45am and we were off.
Warm Up:
Jog down to the bottom of the parking lot and circle up for varying counts of:
– SSH
– Merkins
– Mountain Climbers
– Imperial Walkers
At this point, the PAX were commenting on the speed we were moving; the Q seemed to be pushing the pace. Little did they know what faced us at the basketball courts.
