WHO IS RACHEL GARMON? WHAT IS THE DOPEY CHALLENGE?

For those of you training with us, she is that abnormally flexible girl with an "a*s to grass" squat (not to mention strong as an ox), 5, 2", always smiling, and constantly in and out of the gym in the morning and evening.  

Rachel just had a huge accomplishment over this past weekend.  Nearly 4 months ago, she was sharing her goals of completing the "Dopey Challenge."  This is an event over the course of 4 days.  On the first day she completed a 5K, second day 10k, third day 1/2 marathon, and the fourth and final day a marathon! Congrats Rachel and way to accomplish your goal!

Take care of your hands today, guys! Be smart, be aware, and stop before you tear (PSA worthy!)
