Ball of Man — closing prayer led by Neck Brace

Naked Man Moleskin:

  • Solid first Q by Neck Brace! Well prepared with both workout and cadence. Preparation and practice make such a huge difference for the enjoyment of the workout. My shoulders will be burning by this afternoon.
  • Great crowd this morning — 18 is a mid-week record at #Strut. Keep up the good work!
  • I was pretty impressed by the guys this morning — lots of chatter and they just wouldn’t quit.
  • Leave it to the risk manager to bring a flashlight to the gloom. Seven Oaks Park is pretty dark, and it’s a good thing Alter Boy brought a flashlight or Neck Brace might not have been able to read his workout. #24PointArialBold works best. #FutureReference. When it gets darker in the winter, headlamps may be in order #notjoking
  • With the lack of rain in the past week, I was not prepared for the wetness of the football field. I guess it was dew, but it could have been sprinkler. Whatever it was, it was wet and a little chilly. #YouOnlyGetWetOnce
  • Keep Pedro in your thoughts and prayers — he is in California fighting the RIM Fire.
  • Blockhead is interested in a Monday/Wednesday/Friday group run similar to what we do downtown with #Amble. Stand up and be counted if you’d like to participate with that.

Announcements:

  • We have a waiting list for the Fall Mud Run. The Columbia region has 6 teams, and F3Nation has about 60. If you want to do the Mud Run, it’s not too late. Get on the waiting list and we will do our best to find a spot for you.
  • Alter Boy and Uno are working on a golf outing for October 10. Looks like it will be at Cobblestone and cost $45.

  1. And another First Time Q for Thursday. Enter Fiji. And I’m quite certain this workout won’t be a relaxing day on the beach.
