BackBlast:
It was a SUUUUPER rainy morning and everyone and their father wanted to be under the Large Pavilion today. After the 7:00am workout group was done. . . Titanium and I set up the Q School Workout. We were joined by Signs and Sunny…and off to the side 3 dads of the cross country team visited at a picnic table while the kids ran. About halfway through the workout, the cross country team also gathered under the pavilion. I am pretty sure that all 3 of the dads and all the cross country runners can now Q a FiA workout! Haha!
Today’s workout was a peak behind the curtain of how to lead a FiA workout (aka How to Q). I won’t go into the details because there’s a handout for that! Just ask me or U-Haul if you want one. But here is the basic workout from today.

Name-a-rama & COT:
COT today was a school related joke:
Parent: What did you learn at school today?
Child: Apparently not enough…we have to go back tomorrow.
Same goes for working out. You can’t just do it once, you have to keep going back every day! Stronger together day by day!
It was great to have 4 PAX come out in the pouring rain to do a Q School Workout, especially Sunny who came to The Coop for the first time today!
