And then there was one

And then there was one

The Thang: As described in Kirk’s handy pre-blast, but without the rock because who wants to run a mile with a rock?

Moleskine:

• YHC made it through the opening mile and 8 rounds of 10 pull-ups, 20 merkins, and 30 squats. I’d like to think I would have finished the exercises with a little iron-sharpening, but after 10 days off of F3 with beer and bad eating, this hurt. I opted to get the last round in rather than running the closing mile. Also, my legs were jelly from the squats.
• YHC hit Kirk up last night to confirm SOFAWIB was a go this morning. He said it was and then posted a pre-blast. YHC pulled up around 5:25 to an empty lot and pinged Kirk at ~5:30. No response, so off we go at 5:32 for the HT mile. It turns out Kirk had an alarm fail, which happens to the best of us. I tried to EH the HT employee smoking a cigarette outside, but he just looked at me like I was crazy, a reaction with which most F3 pax are familiar.
• Now that we’re in resolution season, let’s push each other to get out there and post. EH that guy you know needs F3, because we need him as well.

Announcements:

• Joe Davis Run this weekend. The forecast calls for snow, but weathermen are always wrong. See you out there.
• StrongFirst kettlebell clinic at the Charlotte Athletic Club on 2/4 at 9am. YHC is signed up. It’s a great chance to improve your KB technique. DM me if you want details or are too lazy to search the interwebs for info.
• Speaking of kettlebells, come on out to one of our gear sites (Foxhole, Skunkworks, Meathead, and sometimes Ascent) if you’re looking for something new. We’re 8 months from BRR, so you’re allowed to do something other than run.
