VSF planted for the PAX of 20 at Shelley Lake where we’ve been gathering now for over 2.5 years. YHC had a Weezer song in his head for days, Pantyhose can attest it goes back to at least Friday since it came up on our run to The Arena. The best way it get it out is to play it too much, Q’ing True Grit provided that opportunity. Feels like just a few weeks ago this workout was in complete darkness, now it’s in full light. It’s amazing how well one can acclimate to change if they are only focused on the things they can control. Yes I brought music and didn’t really have to look at my watch as a result, which was nice.
The Thang:
SSH x 40…..run to wall on the other side of the long bridge

Naked Moleskin:
-Goodness the heat is intense this month, ground is dry as bone but I’m soaked after every workout. Glad Orwell manned up with shoes instead of flip flops, that was a funny site gathering in the gloom. T-claps to Vandelay grinding it out this morning, his first post was just a couple of weeks ago and he’s stepping up in quickly. Great job by Rock Master keeping a watch on the PAX with Orwell as well, #nomanleftbehind #all3fs
-Yo-Yo was crushing Jacob’s Ladder with someone, but I forget who. Might have been Red Card, help out YHC with the proper kudos.
-Next Arena will be on Friday June 26th, 2pm. Great crowds there the past couple of months, try to make time and post there.
–July 4th Options: Ambassador (Chavis Park) and Catalyst (Carroll Middle School) will be your Raleigh options with a 6:30 start. No Pullen, Whiplash or Crick.
-Lots of new faces becoming regulars, many are stepping up to Q their first workout as well which is even better. Western Stranger is up next at Ethanol tomorrow, I’m a HC. Red Card has Whiplash on the 27th, I’m a HC.
-Have 19 of the 20 in the PAX list, help me with the missing man. I always seem to miss one.
