A warm humid morning greeted us as we rolled out of the fart sacks. CK showed up early to scope out some new pain, FNG showed up real early as well. On cue the PAX rolled in, the Shovel Flag was planted and the bells chimed in the clock tower- Begin.

The Moleskin:
tclaps to Big Sproles, Howard, Magic Goggles for making all 4 Raleigh workouts this week! STRONG
tclaps to Herb for sticking with it and living through the PAIN today
The Ashtray workout was a great find in the early gloom. I see a lot of potential with those.
The 1/4 mile run was a primer for building speed, hopefully in the long distance. The PAX needs to know what it feels like to run a 5, 6 or 7 minute mile- in due time we will elongate the runs.
It is a good sign when everybody is worn out at the end.
