QIC: Conspiracy
The PAX: Swirly, Fudd, Brain Tumor, and Conspiracy

Aye! Four PAX gathered at #dogpile for what was potentially miserable weather (34 and rain), but it ended up holding out. YHC did all that he possibly could to keep the PAX dry, and succeeded….until the unseen puddle on the stairs of the Dell. Today’s focus was more on cardio than any particular muscle group, but considering that the Deck of Pain was in play, the burn depended on the draw. Total mileage was about 3.0 miles. So, with the shovel flag firmly planted, we headed out for the workout. THANG: Mosey over to the front…
