Cold clear winter mornings make the stars stand out, and this morning they were enhanced by the last straggling meteors of the Leonids. Since WaThoHuk is a run focused bootcamp (minimum of three miles) YHC decided to combine laps around the track with exercises emphasizing running form and injury prevention. These included: side straddle hops, copperhead squats, superman planks, side planks with leg lifts, lying leg lifts and kick backs, standing leg lifts and deadlifts, and merkins. During the laps we also included carioca, bounding, and skipping. Distance covered was 3.2 miles YHC led us out.
