Eight men paid for their Halloween sweet tooth with 6.6 miles along the Ghostrunner route with a chaser of burpees.

Moleskine:
- We got off easy on the candy punishment today with a relatively small crowd and apparently a healthy one. Perhaps the others were wallowing in a post-Halloween sugar hangover???
- The Pax that did show got their money’s worth and stepped up to the task of a “shadow” Ghostrunner route. Pro seemed to be consistently out in front, with most of the gang not far behind.
- The ghosts were still out indeed… looking through the thick mist in the air, Halloween decorations were in full light. The ghosts seem to nail a replica of Hillary Clinton to a tree with a sign “Terrorist”? no comment
- Always a pleasure to lead the men of Fast Twitch – nice job seeing everyone get after it on a misty post-Halloween morning.
- Announcements: Sign-up for Christmas Party, and Joe Davis Run
