Rest day or make-up day

We've lost a good man.

Larry Johnson was part of our 6am class for many years. If you trained alongside Larry, you know exactly what he brought to the room. He showed up happy, ready to work, and genuinely interested in the people around him.

Larry had a tremendous work ethic. He took his training seriously, but never himself too seriously. He was encouraging, accommodating, supportive, and always positive. Every class Larry attended was better because he was there.

Over the years, I came to admire Larry for much more than his commitment to training. He was a devoted father and grandfather, and he had built a life that I admired. He enjoyed his family, his retirement, his travels, and the freedom to live on his own terms.

I used to tell him, "Larry, you're living the dream."

And I meant it.

As a coach, I've spent much of my life trying to create a place where people can work hard, support one another, and enjoy the experience. Larry was an example of exactly what that looks like.

He made our community better simply by being part of it.

I'll miss seeing him at 6am. I'll miss his attitude, his effort, and the energy he brought to every class.

Thank you, Larry. For showing up, for working hard, and for reminding us how much one person can contribute to the lives of others.
