Definition:
Ball Bearings: a Wednesday morning workout that is always held outdoors, rain or shine, warm or cold, utilizing a variety of natural fields, hills and other terrain. Exercises are not performed on concrete. Or under parking decks. Or astroturf. It is never easy.

urban jungle: not Ball Bearings.
It seems there is a direct relationship between the morning temperature and number of PAX across F3 Raleigh, and this morning’s 60 degree weather brought ’em out. After a dozen completed the kettle bell set (separate back blast to be posted later by U Taw), 23 were present for the main event. Short jog around the field and up Hamburger Hill, disclaimer given.

-congrats to My Boy Blue on his successful campaign to join Team Busted Paw.
-welcome to Chico, who joined us from Clt Metro.
