Full Body Foxhole

Full Body Foxhole

YHC arrived at 450AM to the Foxhole lot praying that no other PAX would show for a pre-run as my legs were still somewhat destroyed from the Ragnar. Argo’s 2.0 did me a solid and decided to wake up during the wee hours of the night afraid of a monster that most likely somewhat resembled myself…My prayer was answered and I got and extra 20min of sleep + ESPN radio as I awaited the main event.

530 painted the clock and 4 took to the ‘Hole starting off with a short mosey around the parking lot where we ran into another fearsome foursome that was headed to the turf fields for what looked to be light calisthenics.

Moleskin

It was a strange October morning, being that it was unseasonably warm and humid and that we ran into yet another odd group of characters in the mean streets of Elon Park. 4 men who “Have Re-Committed to Foxhole” showed up and knocked it out. With small numbers, there is nowhere to hide and none of the PAX showed up expecting to hide.

VOODOO – strong work as always, setting the pace on the KB Swings and a majority of the Sposeys

FREHLEY’S COMET – a man committed to the Foxhole, great push on the negatives and holding yourself accountable to knock ’em all out

ARGONAUT – Started out as a beast before succumbing to the weight of the Liberty Bell. Beast mode nonetheless to tote that monster.

With that, I retreat back up to my Man Cave for Football, Baseball, a few beers and continued icing of my destroyed legs.
