PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Warmup: SSH x15, Willie Mays Hayes x10, stretching OYO while reviewing the route

Route: Original U-Turn route plus Elm for Christmas lights

Launched 6:02 am. Immediately found treasure in front of Target. Brand new black T-shirt: “Born to Game – Forced to Work.” Laid it across the bushes for pickup on the return. Over to Irving Parkway and a nice long downhill run on Thomas Mill Road, past CBC. Caught up with everyone along the way and picked up the six. Green Oaks, across bypass–lots of traffic, Elm, Avent Ferry. TomTom hammered up cemetery hill. Back to Target for T-shirt pickup. Circle up about 7 am.

Message: If you are standing here in this COT, you are among the “BLESSED”! Remember to count your blessings everyday.

Announcements: 3-Alarm – Sign up on the Q sheet. You don’t have to Q, there’s columns for “HCs.” Also, 3-Alarm Christmas Party on Tuesday, 12/19/23. Potluck

Prayers: Unspoken

T-Claps: Thanks to Pablo for hosting the F3 Christmas Party 2023. Fantastic digs and he made hosting look so easy. Great food by the PAX.

 

Extra Shots for Everyone

FNGs: None

Warm Up: SSH, 20 merkins OYO in honor of @vasoline “they are the only merkins you’ll get all day”

The Workout: Q arrived about 30 minutes ahead of the workout to find @jellybeans, @bobby boucher and @sunshine (Tyler Mosko) and @gamecock already EC-ing. Q joined for a few trips around the park ahead of the route. A few extra tequilla shots if you will.

The ME was hot and sticky, and generally felt like a bad decision as we wandered through neighborhoods, through downtown, to the end of Academy St. and the back to the start along Judd Pkwy.

Upon arrival back, @flop and @jellybeans squeezed in a few extra steps to hit their targets. A great jog with great mumblechatter, nothing breeds comradery like shared misery.

I forgot what we did after the run, probably some prayer requests and T-Claps. All of the morning tequila gave me brain fog.

@Finkle was missed for our travels.
