Well, after much mumble chatter the day before about how hard the Iron Pax week 2 challenge was going to be I didn’t know what to expect as far as a turn out.  I was pleasantly surprised when 14 PAX showed up to accept the challenge.  No doubts about it, it was brutal.  Mumble chatter was at a minimum during the workout.  The high humidity did not help matters.  Here’s a recap of week 2.

short disclaimer – no new comers in this motley crew

Grab your block/buddy/coupon walk to grass in front of tennis courts.

10 Manmakers – burpee with block, overhead press

20 overhead press

30 kettle bell

40 goblin squats

50 inclined merkins

1600 Meter run

 

Rinse and repeat for 4 rounds total – Runs of 1200, 800 and 400 meters in rounds 2, 3 and 4 respectively.

 

Prayers:  We finished late and many had left, but prayers of thanksgiving for giving us the ability to have this fun in the mornings.  Prayers for healing for those who can’t make it out.  Prayers to help us be better leaders, fathers, husbands, sons and friends.  Special prayers for all first responders especially today (9-11).  Prayers for my son, Geoffrey, as he leaves this morning for Denver to start the next chapter in his life.

 

Mole skin: It was great being apart of this today.  Many of us were pushed to our limits.  Special thanks to those PAX who stuck around to the bitter end and finished it out with our brethren.
