Tortoise & Hare – Week 5

AO: thestronghold
Q: Red Skull
PAX: Decaf, Young and Restless, Michelin Man, Right Said, Crawlspace, SalPal, Chunks, hambone, Ol’ McDonald, Crockett, DreamCast, C Sharp, Vera Wang, World Tour
FNGs: None
COUNT: 15
CONDITIONS: Our first cool run of the season – 46 degrees

WARMUP: The warm-up was hijacked by World Tour who seemed to short-cut everything in an effort to get to the run. We stretched the right side more than the left which resulted in some lopsided running.

THE THANG: RUN!!! Three miles around the campus. We had a couple of PRs this morning. Those that are training for the half marathon are coming into the home stretch.

MOLESKINE: It was great to have a good showing this morning to offer encouragement to the 4:13 Strong men. Thank you to the faithful PAX that continue to show up and make a difference.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: The Struggle 003 is coming up in just a couple of weeks. This Struggle will be on a Friday night so work won’t be an excuse. Hit up Ginger if you would like to get you name on the list. You will be glad you did it.

COT: Prayers for strength, guidance and focus.

MOLESKINE: It is much easier to push yourself and do hard things when you have someone doing them with you. Thank you to my F3 brothers for slowing down and encouraging the 4:13 Strong men. We had a huge lift in confidence today with so many new PRs.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: The Struggle 003 is 11/1. This is a Friday night so no need to worry about work the next day. Stay tuned for more details. If you are ready to lock in your spot, let me know.

COT: Many prayer requests for endurance, strength and perseverance.
