8 PAX met in the Indian Valley gloom at The Chieftain for a “Journey with Journey” beatdown. The weather was seasonable, but the first half of the workout still pretty dark (we’re losing a bit more light every workout).

The Thang:
PAX paired up at the far side of the parking lot. Then YHC told the PAX the format; one PAX does the exercise while the other PAX moseys across the field and back; then switching (rinse and repeat) until the next song would begin (then the exercise would switch) so-on and so-forth. Each song in the playlist a hit from, you guessed it Journey, one of YHC’s favorite bands.

The PAX remarked that they never realized just how long Journey songs are! This left us just enough time for a few minutes of Mary.
