19 pax posted and the shovel flag was staked in the warming earth at Dreher High School in preparation for a Logo-led pain session. We all expected running – I mean, when you’re 9 feet tall with a 6-yard stride, running is your wheelhouse. While Logo did not disappoint with his sprint ladders, the trips to the Brickpile were a bit unexpected.

PRAYERS: Please keep Rikard Best (and the whole Best family) in your prayers as he renews his battle with liver cancer. Roscoe reports Rikard is currently on semester break from USC and is duck hunting with fraternity brothers in Mississippi before he returns home for experimental treatment.
Moleskin:
- 3 FNGs today is the most since 11/24/12. Two were referred by NC connections and showed up knowing no one. Welcome, and we hope to see you again!
- It’s worth mentioning that FNG Beano arrived at DHS via the run and departed the same way. 19 years of Army PT obviously paying off. #respect
- Mule had the first real challenge to his War Baby reign today but managed to edge FNG Puddin’ by a few months.
- Epstein’s mothers to Mission and Tajh. Both will return Saturday and Tajh will take the Q.
- In the gloom, if appeared Neighbor had arrived with a new pair of long white tights/pants worn under his shorts. Upon further scrutiny, however, it was determined it was actually his legs glowing in the moonlight. #SummertimesComing.
Strong Brothers. Missing the PAX this week. The Chicago renaissance gym has nothing on the Dreher proving grounds. Looking forward to seeing what Tajh has in store Saturday.
