Head down Hubert Graham to the bottom of the hill. 5s and 10s with 15 in cadence flutters partially sitting up.
Up HG to the light which wasn’t super close so was out of gas at the top. 5s and 10s with American hammer.

THE THANG: Nine HIMs showed up ready to put in work for a Baxter-to-Berkshire loop beatdown. We took off on foot for the Berkshire loop, stopping at every stop sign to drop:
• 5 Jump Squats
• 5 Regular Squats
• 15 Merkins
:vertical_traffic_light:Those stop signs added up fast — and so did the burn.
We completed 3 total loops. The final lap brought a twist for YHC who called an audible and cut the reps to squeeze in that last lap. Strong move for max mileage but serval PAX got them in.
:straight_ruler: Distance: Just shy of 4 miles
:fire: Legs were smoked. Chests were tight. Spirits were high.

Message of the Day
:clock4: Today is National Leave the Office Early Day.
It’s a great reminder that time is something we don’t get back.
That’s why I try to stay focused during the day—avoiding distractions like social media or unnecessary tasks—so I can truly disconnect and spend time with my family in the evenings.
I work out early in the morning before the day starts, not just for the routine, but so my evenings are open and intentional.
If we manage our time wisely during the workday, we create space for what matters most after it.
Work hard. Be efficient. And make sure your time reflects your priorities.
