Moleskin:

-After getting called out by Bugeater in last weeks backblast for not posting or Q’ing Hydra since Halloween YHC started to feel a little guilty about taking an almost 4 month hiatus from F3.  Hey we all need a little break every now and then!  Plus YHC is not the least bit embarrassed to admit that I now hate bitter cold mornings more than ever….Thanks to last year’s SnowRuck!  But it was after I completed my first of 10 not planned burpees on your own that I then remembered why we all come out in numbers at 0530.  The feeling of being back was awesome! #fearthewhistle

-Not much chatter from the Pax as the constant motion kept conversation to a minimun.

-Greyhound is a stud!  74 years old… are you kidding me!!  Give this guy F3 legacy status or something!

-Thanks to whoever directed the way through the nature trail (I think it was Mall Cop).

-It was an honor leading you guys.  Thanks for reminding me why am part of F3.
