Middle-aged men using technology always teeters on the precipice of disaster, and today was a fantastic example. I still don’t know what I did to screw up the Zoom meeting. I will do some practice sessions before we try again (and we will try again), but we were able to adapt quickly and use FB Live. I know a couple of guys weren’t able to join or didn’t get that message, and I apologize for that. Big-time Q fail.

Conditions: The heat and humidity are here to stay – 70 degrees

The Thang: 12 PAX got miles in by way of feet. Some ran, others rucked and one showed up for coffee and cash.

Welcome FNG Steve Gilmer. Great EH by Hollywood while he was preparing for an open house. There were many names that he could have been called, but Steve is now known as Gypsy!

DT can’t seem to get out of his own way, again. He has mastered the art of not showing up when he HC’s……

Mission:  F3’s mission is to plant small workout groups that are free of charge to all men.   We improve fitness and leadership in the community through regular scheduled workout groups where participants rotate leadership.

Conditions: 64 degrees and humid

The Thang: 10 PAX showed up, got miles and drank coffee. Plus a fall on a SCS (Schrute is really good and tucking and rolling).

Moleskin:  Great turnout and nice to see Bee-Wax pop his Creamer cherry. Stalker, Hollywood and I decided to venture down the trail along 26. Stalker told Hollywood he would be okay because he was in the middle – a little bit down the road What?! was shuddering in fear of past occurrences with said Stalker and dark paths.

It just so happened that the path put us back out on Sigma Drive and didn’t go all the way up to Nexton Parkway (bummer!). We took the path on the way back all the way in to Carolina Ale House so we can call that a win.
