MLK Day – Improvised Mettle
All BackBlasts BackblastsJanuary 20th, 2020
Upon arriving at the Sports Club, YHC was very happy to see some new faces, (Snape taking advantage of the school holiday and Snowsuit making his Mettle debut). YHC had a weinke with an intricate workout dedicated to MLK Jr., but upon arriving realized there was a need to improvise.
Warm-a-rama:
A short mosey around the parking lot followed by:

Winter Gala – Feb. 1st. Bring your M so they can enjoy some embarrassing stories from the gloom.
So this day has been designated as MLK Jr. remembrance day, and was truly a HIM. He was born on January 15 and received the Nobel Peace prize at the age of 35 (at the time the youngest person to do so). He was arrested countless times because of his PEACEFUL protests. Yet he still stood up and fought for what was right. He sacrificed so much, so that others like him could grow up in a more just and equal society.
