Workout Recap - Week of August 21, 2022
I hit my target of four classes for last week, with the extra feather on top that it was on four consecutive days. Technically, I was lightly injured by the end of the last one (torn blister on the bottom of my right foot), but I could've covered that and been set to go for a fifth had I not had other matters intervene.
