16:28 rx. Good one today, just kept moving through the workout.
Finally got to workout with a class for the first time in awhile at Vagabond. Getting pretty lonely working out by myself lol… I did the workout but subbed 20 double unders for the 5 box jumps… Posted a 13:12 for my time, kind of disappointed, wanted sub 13 but whatever… Hopefully every Thursday I will be able to workout with the class…
Great Job to everyone this week and keep strong!
