@ScarU

I am truly grateful and blessed to call this region my home away from home. Thank you, all of you. ScarU, you’re a beast. During those hand clap merkins, I was dead… I rang the bell… and you just kept pushing me. Thanks everyone!! 

I’ve got sand in a few unthinkable places… but, fun times, 10 outta 10 😆 

@PorkRoll

I hope you all agree there was no place better than Belmar Beach for convergence this day. Thanks and love to all.

@Machine

I’m invigorated after this morning boys! Thanks so much for showing up, inspiring, leading, and most of all becoming family to me! 🙏

@Styx

Yeah great time! Hydro all kinds of exercises! Loved it! Thank you Scar, Dos and all! 

@BlackHole

I tried not to do Hydro stuff and still got sand everywhere 😀

@Cruiser

I’m exhausted and banged up but wouldn’t have it any other way.   Thank you for all the photos – memories for a lifetime!  The Faith connects you to the Friendship which motivates your Fitness!!  💪🏾 👊🏾 

Everything happens full circle.  I was born in Brooklyn so I was happy to have Flatbush on my back yesterday!!

Blue Ridge Relay 2024 – 9/5 to 9/9

To all runner pax!
The one and only spectacular Blue Ridge Relay is back on this year and Lowe’s is recruiting team members for 9 man team. Maybe if there is a lot of interest and commitments plans can change to 12 man team, not sure.

There are spots available, regardless.
Dates: depart for VA Sept 5, return from NC Sept 9.

Please reach out to DC and myself.
If you have done this before – BRR is your race, if you have always thought about it but have not tried – it is an experience to remember!
