Moleskin:
– This was TOUGH! YHC was completely smoked at the end but it felt awesome.
– YHC did the disclaimer during the Indian Run. Somehow this seems appropriate for The Brave workout.
– #TheBravest is legit and makes an already tough workout even harder.
– Mileage was around 4.5 miles but it ran like 8 and felt like 15!
Anouncements:
– F3 Dads Saturday 0900 at Beatty Park.
Thanks for letting me lead.
