Go your own way…
11 men decided against their better judgement to follow YHC out into the dark cool swamp that is the 4-mile Creek Greenway. 2 others forged a different (and arguably more difficult) path out to the SCMS track and back. So there were 13 F3 affiliates in the general area of Devil’s Turn this morning. PAX got between 4.5 and 6 miles at the pace of their choosing.
First off, cotters to O’Tannenbaum who has come out of hibernation since the temperatures are now rising again. In COT, YHC cut him off before he could state his name(s) and age. Cobains my brother.
Mall Cop and Wolfman were the lone wolves this morning and did a quick 4.5 out to SCMS and back. Unfortunately, MC’s knee seemed to be flaring up at the end. Ice that thing, roll your butt tendons, and come back stronger than ever.
Welcome to FNG (Trade-In) who was EH’ed by Bratwurst (in absentia). The man has been running for 39 yrs and has more than 100,000 miles on those wheels. Great to have such an experienced runner in our midst. Welcome and we will see you again soon.
The rest of the PAX ran in several packs and the 2nd F seemed good. The progression run back from Johnston Rd. was painful but satisfying. The PAX even put up with a couple dynamic stretches in the parking lot although many seemed self conscious in front of all the tomatoes coming in from the Greenway. Don’t worry, real men do calf stretches.

Ok, so the Devils Turn COTs have produced some total fails in the name-giving area. I suppose that it is because everyone is completely smoked. I thought we had made a turn for the better when my attempt to name a FNG “Sofa King” was vetoed by the only person with a worse name (Madame Tussaud), but it seems we are back on this path.
Here’s the deal. FNG claims to have logged over 100,000 miles in 39 years of running. That’s over 2500 miles per year. He’s averaging over 50 miles per week at this pace.
I say we name him either:
1) Uncle BS
2) Mythbuster
3) New Math
– Horsehead
