– Big crew also ran ~3 mile Standard this morning.  Saw Don Ho, Lego, Mayhem, Frogger and Turncoat rolling in as I parked.  I’m sure I missed a few too.

– Guinness Book of World Records for pushups in a minute:

Regular: 140 (although could not confirm, could be as high as 152)

Finger Tip: 105

Knuckles: 101

Diamond: 70

If you’re interested in what is considered “Excellent” for pushups in a minute from the American College of Sports Medicine, see link below.  I’m betting many of you are crushing it!

– Bit of a challenge getting back to the pull up bars in the dark but well worth it in YHC’s opinion.

– Duly noted need for volume increase in cadence…breathing too hard.

– Don Ho noted upcoming Need for Speed and Mayhem noted a shoe drive to help the less fortunate.  Please reach out to them for more information and show support!

– No world records (today), but may have set a record for PAX at Dragon Slayer!  Appreciate everyone coming out, a huge motivator for me and helped me push through.

Until next time…
