3/16/26 Train in the Rain

Six PAX arrived by 5:27 am when the rain got heavy. Blue Crush, Shooting Blanks, Best In Show, and Hasselhoff hopped out of their cars and embraced the suck. Vasoline already embraced a 4 mile EC. I hopped out, ducking, as if I could avoid the downpour. We immediately ran to the parking deck and settle in.

WU: Exercises on the corners: SSH 25x, high knees 15x, arm circles 10x F/B, stretching OYO.

The PAX nearly nailed the F3 Mission Statement, but left out the word “community.” Three burpees–a light penance.

ME: B.L.I.M.P.S. = Burpees, Lunges, Imperial Walkers, Merkins, Plank Jacks, Squats

Ascending reps: 5, 10, 15, 20 with trips up the steps between sets.

Each PAX took a turn leading up the steps. To get some fresh air, Shooting Blanks and another exited at the upper deck and we circled around the long way to return to the lower level.

PAX helped me keep count up to 20 burpees.

Mary: Popcorn, ending at 6:15

Grateful for shelter of parking deck, but Hoff wanted ventilation to clear Vasoline’s gas.

COT: Prayers – Best in Show asked for prayers as he replaces the turbos on his truck

Gratitude for this day and Jesus.

Announcements: Run with Davis

Yogurt out.
