At this point Pancreas was confuzzled by my Georgia Math, so I'll explain here:
(9 x 11) + 4 = 103 sets of each exercise
103 x 4 exercises = 412
(9 x 11) + 4 = 103 sets of each exercise
103 x 4 exercises = 412
We then moseyed as a group through the woods and up the hill to the Green Monster, where we gathered at the bottom to remember those who rushed up the stairs of the towers in full gear. We then lunge walked up the Green Monster, and moseyed back to the parking lot for time.

Today is a day of remembrance. Each of us can remember exactly where we were when we first heard of the attack on the twin towers. It is a moment in our lives that we will never forget, nor should we. Many people lost their lives that day. Some, just by showing up for work and sitting in their office. Others, by choosing to run head first into a burning, crumbling building to try to save people's lives. I've heard it said that a hero is someone who runs towards the danger, when everyone else is running away from it. That has never been more evident than on 9/11, when 412 heroes paid the ultimate price in service to others. May we always remember their sacrifice, as well as the continued sacrifices of today's first reponders and military members, who will always run head first into the danger.
