Chattanooga Strong, Day off from the Weights and Rowing

On July 16, 2015, Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez fired on two military installations in the area around Chattanooga. Abdulazeez  did a drive by shooting at a strip mall that contained an armed forces career center, then traveled to a Navy Reserve center and shot that place up. Abdulazeez was finally killed by police after a firefight but not before four Marines were gunned down. A Sailor, a Marine recruiter, and a police officer were all wounded and the Sailor died from his gunshot wounds a couple of days later. After an extensive investigation, the FBI said that the shootings were motivated by "foreign terrorist organization propaganda."

One year later the community is still healing and it is hard to picture these things happening here. But then again, maybe we have to start getting used to it: We lived right near Gabrielle Giffords' home in Tucson and now we are living in the town where the Chattanooga Five were killed. The guy was armed to the teeth with an AK-47 semi-automatic rifle, a 9mm handgun and had a Saiga-12 gauge shotgun in his car. Someone of course will argue that this isn't a gun problem.... interesting.

Workout:
Rowing HIIT, One minute warm-ip pace followed by :20 of maximum effort then :40 at 70-80%. One minute cool-down for 20 minutes total.

Have a Great Day!!
