QIC: No-See-Um
PAX POSTED: No-See-Um, No-Ski, Haka, Dillio, Grouper

5 Pax on hand for a perfect morning in the gloom here at #TheRanch.  There are some mornings that are easier than others to get up and at it……this was one of those for YHC and probably b/c of having the Q.  So much more fun and exhilarating when “you know what’s gonna happen”……….MUAHHAAHH!!!

10 Mountain Climbers

10 Plank Jacks

20-Imp Walkers

*If them Backwards Duck Walks would have been a race……..well, let’s just say all the pax would be pulling up the rear.  It was a struggle to complete #feeltheburn!
