Paleo Brownies
So today was a viscious day on everyone, especially on several people's hands. This work out is especially notorious for being a killer on the palms and forearms. Luckily there is a treat that you can give your hands afterwards and also your mouth. Brownies! This is a very simple recipe and is great for everyone.
6 tablespoons oil
1/2 cup raw honey
2 eggs
1/2 cup carob powder
1/2 cup pecan nut meal
1/4 cup arrowroot
Mix all and poor in to a greased 8 x 8 x 2 inch pan. Bake at 350-degrees for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Saturday morning highlights
In some oppressive humidity our gang of misfits tackled a timed mile run and then had 5 minutes to establish a 1 rep max deadlift . Some notable highlights included Kris Harris who hasn't run a mile in 30 years but did so today and then hit a 165lb deadl lift(10 lbs away from here persona best!). Dave also crushed his run an then set a new personal record on his dead lift at 305 lbs! Nice work to everyone who braved the heat and humidity.
