This month’s athlete of the month is another early riser. It is something about those who wake up every morning and show up every day to the early classes that impresses us. This member has been with us for a quite a long time. His son was the first to join. Then he joined. And finally, he drug his daughter over to us. After his son and daughter moved away, he continued to come every morning. He has been seen running 5ks with other members, he always has a smile on his face, and some of the funniest moments are when he bickers with previous Athlete of the Month Jim Crawford.
