Naked Moleskin:

-True Grit moved to 5:30 months ago, Au Pair missed the memo and showed up late. ManRam blames communication issue on inactive twitter account. #lostpassword

-Today F3 Raleigh turned 3, T-claps to the handful that showed up in the rain that morning and then in turn cranked up what we have now. Next Monday will be the 46th workout in the lineup here in Triangle, incredible growth from humble beginnings. Thank guys like Big Sproles, Wendell Gee, Conroy, CK & HOWARD when you see them next, hopefully all will be there Saturday as we celebrate. Howard drove through an ice storm in February of 2012 to post at Big Hair Monday in Charlotte to check out F3. His initiative lead to the first workout. He will replicate the first workout at 6am Saturday, see details on the website.
