Ausfahrt – recovery from motorcycle accident. Keep your eyes out for ways we can help the family in the coming weeks/months.
Fantastic 2nd F after. Great work men – always a privilege.
Do British warm ups really help?
17 PAX got stronger and faster today at U-Turn with Brexit’s 1 year anniversary at F3.
There was some chatter about the ‘Rebel Walk’ warm up implying PAX looked they all $hit themselves… This theme continued into prayer requests as Dauber asked for prayers that he could make it through mile one without having a bowel movement. His running mates were pleased he made it back for 2nd F without doing so. God answers prayers!
Warm Up:
Arse Kickers, Rebel Walk, and Union Jacks.
The Workout:
EC: 187, Hotspot, Bernie, H1N1, Brexit.
A balmy 53f clear morning. The usual 5 Mile U-Turn route, with an abbreviated 3 mile route for a few. 2nd F at Starbucks with lots of chatter about Wrightsville Beach and Pikachu Fartsacking…
Announcements: Nemo Ugly Sweater Party this evening. Bring food for Food Pantry; CSAUP Dec. 15 start/end at Womble, Any Given Sunday at Womble, Sunday at 6am.
Prayer: Pray for Dauber’s Bowel movements during the run along with unspoken requests.

Dress Rehearsal
1 week until the Holly Springs Half Marathon and the pax were our getting some last minute runs or starting their taper week. Several Pax donned the 2018 Navy F3 HSHM shirt. 23 men total posted. YHC is excited to see the success of all Pax next weekend. Here’s hoping for PRs.

Wafers
Well this one could have turned out several ways. Walked outside this morning to a breezy post rain dark morning. Great, I think this is gonna be windy. Loaded up the Tailwind for 187 and I, checked that the camelback was sealed, and hopped in the truck. Arrived at Ting to a great group of men waiting for a pleasant level of excitement. As 187 grabbed the goods, the joy of calories diminished when he realized he forgot his camelback at home. Shovel flags planted.
Warm Up: Short job, IW, Hillbillies, High Knees, Frankensteins
The Workout: Run the HSHM course. – Lipstick had to shit <1 mile into the run. Ice cream will do that to a lactose intolerant person. Somehow H1N1, R22, and Farva ended up on crossway, Yellow card needed a pee break, M4L just ran where ever. Despite the situations, this is one crazy fast group of men. Honored to run with you. I’ve added men that ran U-Turn, started early, or ran lifetime. Let me know if I forgot you.
