14 men and one Jingles imposter walking the roads made it out this morning

MOLESKIN:

I’ve been out the past two weeks since pulling my calf during my prerun at Watchtower.  Thankfully the calf held up today and my goal was to keep it under 3 miles (2.98 is what I clocked).  Everybody was really pushing it today and it felt great to be back out.

Hollywood was as usual so far ahead of everyone it.  How is is possible the gap keeps getting bigger? 

Great to see Easy Button back out along with Shake and Bake.  I know first hand how these calf/Achilles injuries suck so glad to see those seem to be getting better

The dynamic duo of Deflated and Foundation seemed to be really pushing it out there today.

Great to see the Briarcresters out with Zinfandel, Fuse Box, Dancing Bear, and Eli.  Way to clown car and push each other.

Deadwood and Zinfandel continue to push the boundaries with their weighted vest.  Just remember, if the workout sucks, you could always have a 20lb vest on as well, right?

Dana and Carb Load were rocking it out there as well. Great job.

On my 39^th birthday last year I had not run in three months and was getting ready to undergo my first of two hip surgeries.  I’ll take 40 any day if it means I can wake up and push myself mentally and physically with my F3 brothers.  Thank you for pushing me and holding me accountable the past five months as I’ve come back into F3 post injuries and surgeries.

Now off to the pool, or cake, or something….

Thank you for the opportunity to lead.
