Wildcard Run (The FIST!)-07/05/2018

THE FIST (3.5 mile Recovery Week Run)

From Coach Toby....

The fist pump, the clenched fist – for runners, these symbolic gestures are synonymous with celebrating a personal PR, team long run strength & unity, or any workout involving blood, sweat and tears. The fist reminds us we’re all rugged around the edges and whether together or alone, capable of reaching new heights.

Appropriately, tonight’s run takes us high atop a rocky outcrop know as “the Fist”!
Enjoy the picturesque views and get in a few good fist pumps with your teammates to celebrate your many efforts this season – including this one!
