24 PAX hit the pavement at Urban Jungle to sweat out the remainder of any green beer consumed the night before in honor of St Patrick’s Day. Any PAX expecting a four-leaf clover in the form of an easy workout were in for disappointment. With Q-coach Maize in attendance Life Alert had to raise his game to ensure not only a Maize-worthy work out but also proper, crisp and F3-approved instructions and counts. Cadence grade yet to be received, but all PAX stayed together and displayed maximum effort and solidarity in making their way across the concrete expanse of North Hills and back in the gloom. It is rumored that the PAX may have even spotted a pack of raccoons at the bottom end of the NH ampitheatre but then again that could just be urban legend. My pleasure and honor to lead this morning, no better way to celebrate my birthday than with my brothers in F3. L/A
