Prologue:
A few weeks ago, our brothers at True Grit issued a challenge to the Raleigh PAX: Q five workouts by the end of the year. I ignored the initial call as my posting had become erratic and I was struggling. A couple of weeks later I was going to post True Grit, but I was running late and posted the Forge instead. Katahdin was Q, in part due to the True Grit challenge. Inspired (and nudged by Drysdale), I signed up to Q the Forge as my first Q for the challenge.

-Mosey from parking lot around the carousel to the event lawn
-20 Side Straddle Hops

Naked Moleskin:
T-claps to True Grit, Katahdin, and Drysdale for the push/nudge needed to step up. I hadn’t Q’d in over three months and was struggling to even post! T-claps to the Forge for standing strong at 5:45AM each Tuesday. When I was late to TG two weeks ago, I knew the Forge would be there. T-claps to today’s PAX for the opportunity to lead!
