New Year, old Weinke, still a good one
YHC showed up at 0445 looking for all those pre-runner I’ve heard about….no SlimFast, no Booyah, no Sensei..hmmm, oh well this sadclown hit the road anyway. Then strolled back in around 0520 to see quite a caravan of urban chariots turning into the lot. 20 bundled up gents circled it up with some “you think it’s gonna snow” mumblechatter before we launched into the gloom.

Ye Ole Naked Moleskin:
YHC is grateful for Sensei asking me to Q Peak51. I have to admit I have not posted there in quite some time. It was awesome to meet so many new guys (well, new to me) and see some faces I haven’t seen at F3 in a long time (Dora, Happy, Frostbite). So thank you Sensei. It’s a good reminder for all of us to move around to different AOs and meet some new brothers in the F3 community.
This Weinke was courtesy of Geraldo. YHC stole it without his permission from his Q back in October. Hey, it looked good to me. Why re-invent the wheel. Thank G if you liked or didn’t like it.
Lois and Tweetsie are both getting stronger and faster. These guys have been consistent for the past 3 months and come to think of it I rarely see one without the other. What’s the story there? Best Friends? Neighbors? Co-workers? Brothers?
Lots of strong hard work going on out there this am in the cold gloom….like we’ve said many times at F3, “It doesn’t get easier, you get stronger!”
Announcements:
Joe Davis Memorial Run is ON! connect with other for Clown Cars (Tweet, Email, Slack, etc.)

The quick story is as such: Tweetsie and I have been friends for a few years, as we both attend Carmel Baptist. Then, he moved into my neighborhood (as in, I can’t leave the neighborhood without passing by his house).
Then at the end of July, I was a FNG at Mountain Goat. Then, my M suggested I invite Tweetsie to come out to MG (because he and I were in a similar spot in terms of fitness and tried to remedy by running).
So, I gave a superb sales job: “hey man, come out to this crazy early morning workout. It’s going to probably suck, but it’s fun. The guys are great, though.” Somehow, this was enough to convince him.
Then we started to sprinkle in Peak 51, Skunkworks and Gumby when it launched. And so, here we are. Basically, the clown-car routine is for obvious neighbor reasons, but, to keep ourselves accountable to each other, which was pretty essential early on.
I think that about covers it in a succinct manner (or as succinct as I can put it).
