Chest, Biceps and Hurricane Odile

Our fall semester students have arrived here at NOLS Southwest and they are working hard in their Wilderness First Aid class. Today we got word that Hurricane Odile has plowed across the Baja Peninsula of Mexico and Tucson may get record rainfall tomorrow. We love rain here in the desert, but you know what they say about too much of a good thing...

Today's quote is from President Bill Clinton:

"Promising too much can be as cruel as caring too little."

Misery Loves Company!

At the evening workout session we had four people show up! It was super fun and we were able to push each other quite a bit. I really enjoy the company even if it is just collectively suffering in the heat.
