Conditions
Springlike in the 60’s

Poor Valvano is sick.  So he reached out for a substitute and since I was planning to join him anyway, I helped a Brother out and took the Q.  We agreed to keep it secret to surprise the PAX!  Great numbers showed!!  Expecting an #EasyDay from Valvano I am sure.  In fact, the 3 that left to run were heard saying….”man, figured we’d stay for Valvano’s easy Q…let’s get out of here before we get crushed by OneCall!”  Or something like that.  Anyhow, just a great day to be out there pushing hard and getting better.  Got in some pre-running with Boxcar and Jingles (who had a huge farewell tour when he moved away, got guys to help him pack and move and everything….THREE days ago..back already!!!) for 1.25 miles.   The real pre-running was done by a slew of guys (forgive me if I miss anyone) – Quaker, Cross Stitch, Billy Blanks, Brown Bag, ERC, Sade, Tiny Dancer, Candy Cane, and Waldo – who went from Early Riser to the AO with a loop for 4.1 miles! Guys continued to roll in, being rounded at at around 0608 by Spork!

We had time for a little race…I made the self proclaimed “fast runners” loop the whole parking lot then through the baseball fields and to the flag while the self proclaimed “slow runners” skipped the parking lot to run shorter distance.  Said there may be rewards and/or punishments if the slow runners were caught!  May have been some cheating by YHC.  All pushed hard and it was a solid mix of guys coming in….so we were all rewarded with 22 Merkins as a group!  #22Kills

My watch registered 4 miles – so with the 1.25 off…seemed like a 2.75 mile bootcamp plus all the fun exercises!  Great day!

TIME!

Moleskin
– This was a great workout.  Definitely better than whatever Valvano had planned.  Probably not as much fun as Rousey at WH with a gun disarm and a tickle fight lesson.
– Spent our “10-counts” talking about good form and picking up the 6 and you versus you and 1% better and all the other things that make F3 work, that make it great, and that make it awesome to be out there with our Brothers!!!
– Really strong work by all these men and it was a blast being out there!  I am beat.
