We’re back baby and it feels so good (just couldn’t bring myself to write this when I was basically just running everyday) 🚀🚀🚀. Excited to get back after it in the weight room (Gramercy Nox has no idea what is in store)
Few updates / notes since last one was sent out:
I ran the Chicago Marathon last weekend (10/9/2022). Thank you to everyone that supported. We ended up raising $7,709 pre-race and $10,209 if you include another large donation that’s coming in at the end of the month to RMHC. Ran the marathon in 3:01 45 (6:56 pace) (oh so close to sub-3)
Also, I’m chalking naming the workouts after recent albums and am just going to go with fav songs I’ve come across recently ⚡⚡⚡
Here is the Marathon Playlist (@DethathonOfficial) + the Inspiration (shoutout Sudolsky per usual) (DEATHATHON)—basically just the heaviest dubstep imaginable (MARAUDA, Svdden Death, Oddprophet, Must DIE! obvi making substantial appearances)
Also, Sudolsky put together some heat 🔥🔥🔥 earlier this week per usual (Recomp 10/12)
