A pleasant 38 degrees, clear and dry conditions greeted us this morning for Disabled List; the Monday edition of the Recovery Road Triad (see announcements below for more info). A Pax of eight, with an existing F3 new to the RR (Fannie) and 3 FNG’s (a RR record, Welcome ‘Whee, Elements and Snipps!)) were present for a chest, back and arm burner, which Dice will most assuredly be feeling tomorrow!

This Backblast will be brief (for Dice), as the Pax crammed alot into the work-out and we’ve got some actual informational text ground to cover at the end……

Full F3 disclaimer given (chop-sockey style) along with the Recovery Road disclaimer as well.

Those non-infirmed Pax are invited to sign up to Q – no running, but about twice the calesthenics involved. Sing up thru the website here – or contact Dice directly – Twitter @F3Dice or colin_mchugh@hotmail.com See one of our backblasts to get a feel for how much stuff gets packed in.
