Northeast Tennessee

If you want a butt like the Biebs…

Northeast Tennessee Johnson City Iron Horse (Founders Park)

16 men braved the lightning and rain (although they both stopped about the time we started working) for a cardio-heavy circuit courtesy of the Seconds iPhone app.

Note: It’s spelled lightEning, if you ask Donatello.

MOLESKIN

Most of our playlist for today included instrumental progressive metal from a band called Gru, one of my favorites for running, but — I included a few selections that I knew were popular with the Q including favorites of Donatello (Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off”), Baby (Justin Bieber’s “Baby”), Singlet (Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream”), and Sweaty Palms (Miley Cyrus’ “Party in the USA”). You guys have questionable taste in music, but I love you anyway.

For @Baby.
