FNG’s Galore at the ‘Turn

FNG’s Galore at the ‘Turn

17 men chose to hit the rough streets around Trader Joes for some tempo running greatness at Devil’s Turn this week.  The warm springlike weather must have people feeling frisky because there were two site FNG’s and one full on FNG today at the ‘Turn.  We headed to S. CLT Middle School, around the track for a variable number of times and back to the greenway parking lot for COT.

Big Easy and Crypto were the site FNG’s and put in some serious effort on their first visit.  It was good to get to know them and look forward to celebrating their domination of the upcoming fitness test for the Army Reserves.  A few more Devil’s Turn’s and victory is yours!  It was interesting hearing Strange Brew talk military with them although to YHC, it was just a bunch of acronyms of some sort.  Still was a great run though!

Cheddar brought out his work colleague today and based on the speed at which Sound Bar (Kyle) passed YHC on the way back to COT, I would say he has done this running thing before.  Welcome to F3 SB and we look forward to seeing you in the gloom again soon.  (PS, have Cheddar send me your email address so I can get it on the list – Cobains for not getting it from you this AM)

Once the 1 mile warmup was complete, there was a huge group of Larry Birds who began to pound the pavement with intensity and prowess.  Even the normally irrationally exuberant, Haggis was seen trailing this pack.  It was impressive to behold.  I think Gunny’s 2.0 (Google Maps) may have instigated the mayhem, but it was all a blur from this viewpoint.

All others were no slouch either and it looked like an effective workout for all involved.   Thanks for the effort out there and for making Devil’s Turn what it is.  Next week is Hill Week again!
