Johnny Cash
Six PAX arrived at the break of dawn to greet a new day, sharpen some iron, and pay homage to #themaninblack via a Johnny Cash inspired Wolf Run.  Before the PAX assembled, YHC sent a text to MDufresne following visits by many F3Raleigh PAX to see Dufresne yesterday afternoon.  YHC let her know we would be praying for Dufresne this morning.

YHC issued the disclaimer, remarked on the stylishness of Myrtle, Munson, and Gnard Dogg’s headbands, and we were off. YHC thought this was a Johnny Cash themed workout, not Bjorn Borg, but let’s roll with it.  YHC #didntgetthefashionmemo.

Purposefully planned slow, methodical cadence counts for the workout ahead.  Proper form, maximum burn was the goal….about that burning sensation…
