Big Blue 55 Birthday Bash
All Afton BackblastsDecember 2nd, 2020
The weather man promised a nice cool morning with temps below 30 for the first time in a while. With the low temps I wasn’t expecting a large crowd but was pleasantly surprised when 14 of Afton’s finest men came out to brave the cold morning. Short disclaimer was given and off we went.
Warm-a-rama: Take a couple of laps around the parking lot with high knees, butt kickers, karaoke, lateral slides.
