I’ll have an extra helping of cold please – at Hydra

Ten pax (1 FNG) made their way bravely out of the warmth of their homes to the freezing outdoors and the parking lot at Olde Providence  to participate in the 45-minutes of wienke planned by YHC. There were twitter promises of movement considering the situation at hand. It all went something like this…

“I am not a professional disclaimer” at the risk of Q jack for not moving and disclaiming simultaneously as the pax teeth were chattering mighty loud at the starting bell. Lead regained, confidence restored, and off we went into the gloom…

Count-o-rama : 1,2,3..10

Name-o-rama

Solid send off prayer by Iron Horse – and words could not be more true. Lord has blessed us all with our strength and abilities and health and we shall use it to do good.

Moleskine:

So Chico must be good. He gets his buddy AJ out for an FNG post on the coldest day of the winter thus far in Charlotte.  AJ works with Cindy of Metro (and running fame) and Chico tried to stick his buddy with a supermodel name to be consistent with Cindy. Makes sense right. Pax actually went soft on the man as he posted in this arctic blast so we naturally landed on Olaf from movie Frozen. That only seemed appropriate.

I was happy to see 10 pax today with this weather and happy to lead once again. Privileged to do so. Thanks. I think we covered 3.1 miles on the day and did our own little frozen 5k with some sprinkles of shoulders, chest, and arms compliments of merkins, planks, burpees, and bear crawls.

2015 is off to a great start for F3 Area 51 and hopefully you all are ready and re-energized to make this an awesome year. Set some goals, do some races/events, stay motivated, and be sure to get some 2nd or 3rd F if you are called to it. Lots of opportunities.

Announcements:

Joe Davis 5k this weekend, Saturday, – sign up!

Runstopper on Q for Ascent on Saturday if you are not doing Joe Davis run – moderate workout with Stopper at the help. Boy, I got to see this.

Chico seeking 10th man for the Palmetto 200 run in the Spring – if you want to be part of this hybrid metro/A51 team call Prius then let him know. Cheese Curd, Slim fast, and others on board so you know it will be fun time. Need a 10th man. It’s like a BRR without the mountains. That’s more like it!

Impromptu group of pax showing up to Arboretum Cinebarre to watch Unbroken tonight at 7:30 PM showtime. You are welcome to join.
