In June 2013 Fraiser and Alf FNG’ed on the same day on a warm Saturday at Area 51. Today was our first co-Q and 6 other men (1 FNG) joined the two of us for a brisk workout around the Day Zero stomping grounds.
Wait until 7:01 to see if any of the site-Q’s (past or present) would show up. Nope. Nada. Not one. So off we went, each grabbing a medium sized rock on our way and out the back gate of the fields to the corner of Baybrook and Bevington. Drop off the rocks and head over to the grassy knoll / dog walk park just off Bevington. A bit of uneven ground and some frozen dog poop didn’t deter us from the COP.
