Buddy the Elf, I mean YHC showed up shortly before 0500 for prerun with Alpaca-onesie to boot. Cooter greeted me with a smirk, Black Beard emerged from the minivan, Kirby from the Camry and we were off into the gloom with the wind in our hair. Pretty sure we ran 3 miles but the watch only said 2. Those were some long miles.
Wardrobe change for the main event. Cooter kicked us off with the reminder to social distance. I modified the disclaimer with a pronouncement of wealth upon all gathered and off we went. As @Rousey would say “we got shit to do”

The Moleskine
- @Elsa, you crushed the workout my man. It was great to see you out again since Turkey Jam
- @Kirby and @Frehley’s you keep me laughing throughout the pain. Whether it’s a well-timed “that’s what she said” or giving me a hard time for making you carry my poop wipes, you’re hilarious
- @Black Beard, I enjoyed getting to chat more during the pre-run this morning and sharing our disdain for dirty snow
- @Cooter, thanks for the opportunity to lead. I looked forward to this workout and knew it would be a special one to ring in December.
- @Loogie, I’ll never forget you showing up to Bagpipe a few months ago in 50 degree weather with the same amount of layers that you were wearing this morning. You’ve got a quiet strength to you, rolling with the punches and dishing them right back out
- @Mighty Mite, you’re a huge part of why I kept coming out to workouts after my first few Saturdays at Da Vinci. I’m following your example and welcoming other FNG’s into the fold – respect
- @Sweetwater, almost didn’t recognize you with the beanie. Not sure I’ve ever seen you really break a sweat or be out of breath. Are you a machine?
- @Rousey, your energy is contagious. Something about those grunts that really brings out the best in a man
- @Tagalong, you sliced through today’s work and led the pack! You’re sneaky like a ninja. With a beard. The bearded ninja.
- Shoutout to @LaZboy for a similar workout this morning at Hawk’s Nest. Great minds think alike
- It’s almost been a year since I made it out to my first F3 workout.
- Grateful for the brothers and friends that I’ve made.
- Grateful for each one of you
Merry Christmas ya filthy animals
