Welcome back to the 90s

THE THANG: we setup the DJ station for some 90s jams. Stating point was by the gym where the picnic tables were at and we would do 1 exercise, run to the end of the parking lot where the orange cones are normally at, then back to the music for the following exercise, reading left to right and then progressing down. But 1 exercise, then run every time. I think 2.5 miles were got or close to, and the kings were somewhere down to the jump squats.
