I’ve been thinking a lot about pushing my limits during workouts. Wanted to try this IronPax Challenge from Greenwood, SC. Tough workout but a fun challenge. Prayers for anyone impacted by tragic events past, present, and future.

Have a great week everyone!

P.S. I accidentally took a picture instead of recording video.
