What do I not like to do? What am I not good at doing, even more so since the torn meniscus?
It’s no surprise to most of F3Nation that know me, it is running.
When someone submits an exercise named after you to the lexicon, Hairband Mile, it’s just common knowledge.
How do we get better at anything in life? Practice and do it more. So with BRR coming up, not for me but for many F3 brothers, I decided we should run.
As the crew gathered it was time and off we went to the road, disclaimer given… And then I added something about not getting hit by cars as Posse was tearing into the parking lot about to turn us into bowling pins.

Kotters to The Bus (and welcome to his 2.0 FNG “23”), glad you came back out brother we hope to keep seeing you out there getting stronger! Welcome to Posse, pretty sure it was his first post at #F3Thrive along with his 2.0 Ranger.
I originally figured this workout would help Glass Joe and Nomad with getting a couple of miles (about 1.75 miles today) since I rarely plan more than sprints in a workout but really it was for all of us. #AlwaysPushedAlwaysPushing
Announcements
Prayers for my job search and for Posse also.
Bus’ Parents health
GJ’s M
Happy contacted me asking for prayers for his shoulder which may need surgery and the financial issues that come along with that for his business with GolfGuns. Also his dad’s health which is not looking good at the moment.
Solid work by all and always an honor to lead!
Aye!

Being an IT alumni, I was over confident in being able to roll a Prius in on 2 wheels at the last minute. Didn’t anticipate construction detours & people actually going the speed limit at that time of the morning.
Didn’t want to Q-jack, but I thought a Hybrid Hop™ was a great warm up. Haters…
