The day 0.0 miles were covered at Turning Point, but Wapner would have rather ran

Sometimes it is hard coming up with a catchy title to the BB.  But today I had several choices – shoes optional, Wapner broke, Wapner reset, Wapner (fill in the blank), are these official F3 beers, working out with Fleetwood Mac, slow down, etc.  I think I chose one that fit… we didn’t go anywhere …
