THE THANG: RUN!! The usual 3 mile trek around the campus.
MARY: Working down the ladder of Burpees, Squats and WWI, starting at 10 each and making it to 6 before ending with 40 WWIs while waiting for everyone to join in.
MOLESKINE: Today, we had a slow start and a very sloppy finish. Unfortunately, that is how many men go through life. They choose the path of least resistance and buy into the lie that thy can get by with the bare minimum. The result is trading future success for immediate comfort. That is a bad deal every time.

Tortoise and Hair Run #1

Date: 2026-05-12 AO: Tortoise and Hair Q: Red Skull , PAX: Red Skull, Young and Restless, Decaf, Barney, Michelin Man, Nut Spread, Mater, Tenderfoot, 13 FNGs FNGs: 1 13 FNGs COUNT: 21 CONDITIONS: Perfect running weather! 48 degrees and a beautiful sunrise.
WARMUP: SSH, Squats, IWs, Stretches
THE THANG: RUN!! We found the train today so there was some confusion about where to go (some of it real, some of it manufactured). Overall, not a bad first run. The first 4:13 Strong runner finished in 28:30 and the last 4:13 Strong runner finished in 44:00.
MOLESKINE: The first run is alway hard. The new men are trying to figure out what they have gotten themselves into and the F3 PAX are trying to decide how they want to engage. Now that we have the first run behind us, we can all settle in and enjoy the next five weeks together.
