Totally my bad on how late this is- Thursday night I promptly headed up to Boone to watch the good guys shellack Southern (Go Apps!) and BBlast responsibilities totally slipped my mind- and here we are.
There were wonderful plans to show up right at 4:50 in order to do the pre run- but due to laziness on my part showed up at 4:55. No matter- as ZERO pre runners beside myself.  What can one do but a modified pre run/scouting trip to see if the Ao was wet (newsflash- it was)
Houdini showed up at 5:23 when there was only one other PAX and promptly attempted to convince Q to move this 1st F work out to a 2nd F fellowship time. I was slightly open, and we even had a Site Q’s blessing- but once our 5:28 crew showed up, I made the call that this was not the time.
Well done Sapling- new to F3 and posting on a day that scared away most of the regulars. Good work!
My past several workouts have involved a lot of running, so I tried to work on the Bootcamp side of things. Unfortunately, today just happened to be soaking wet- so the PAX didn’t appreciate it as much as they normally would I think.
Smokey emerged with his normal UT Vols cap- and promptly went back to his car and emerged with a Tennessee UT Orange Beanie. Well done staying on brand even while layering up.
SPEAKING OF layering up- Slim Fast is the master of it. I grew up in the mountains with 10 degree mornings, and yet Slim’s ability to stay warm and mobile puts any skill I had to shame. Also, the fact that he showed up for a Thursday morning workout two days before he cranked out a half marathon- he might be my hero.
Lumberjack did what any good lumber jack does- showed up, but the work in, cut down a couple a trees and went along with his day. Lois cranked it out, and then got to see what true #Funbelt football looks like with me Thursday night (#GoNeers).
2nd Peak 51 Q, and second time Sensei has not shown up. I’m not hurt or anything, I just cry on the inside.
Announcements
Joe Davis run- Slim Fast needs volunteers to help provide bagels for Joe Davis run- he’ll bring some materials to Peak this upcoming Thursday to help ask grocery stores for donations. If you’re interested in help Slim Fast let him know- it won’t be too much work (especially if everyone helps)
Also, sign up for Joe Davis run
Thanks Sensei and Lois for letting me Q today. Even with 40 degree temps and super wet conditions, no where I’d rather be than with this group of men.
