VSF planted for quite an eager PAX of 20 getting their #redpill this morning, 36 degrees felt like 42. Asking a long time PAX to pick a favorite workout location to me is similar to asking someone which child is their favorite, but upon reflection a comment an old friend said around me one time comes to mind, “Please don’t ask because I have an answer.” The workout was done on the fly to no surprise of the participants so some of the details are a little fuzzy. #alwayskeepmoving

Head to the left on the loop, 1st stop: Good Mornings x 15, Merkins x 15, The Stomp x 20….run farther

Next stop: Merkins x 15, High Five Merkins x 15, Decliners x 15…run farther (might have been one other stop but I forget).
