A good time was had by all this morning as we wrapped up Day 3 of HELL YEAH/BIRTHDAY Week.

led us on a whimsical journey around Navy Pier — from zig-zag sprints to crab walks through the field, with a few burpees thrown in for good measure. But the true highlight of the workout was definitely hopscotch.

When given the choice to sit it out or play hopscotch, I hope you choose hopscotch.

Great workout session today! Smaller groups always bring a different kind of energy — more focus and stronger connections. Everyone who showed up came ready to work, and the effort was incredible. We pushed hard, supported each other, and made every minute count. Huge appreciation to everyone who came out and gave it their all this morning. Hell Yeah/Birthday Week 2026 is now one for the book.

Thanks to .chi for helping out this morning.

Let’s keep it going tomorrow at Ping Tom Park, where will put our physical and mental fortitude to test as he leads us through The Murph Workout.
