Rodale Run Around

With a balmy 39 degree morning the PAX was a little sweaty and stinky at the conclusion of the workout. Man I have to learn to keep my distance. There was a great turnout regardless of the stench with 10 PAX plus one FNG, good work Neon. Here is what we did:

Drop Box will be setting up a ruck hike at bear creek in the near future with a hiking guide to show up the way. The PAX seemed very interested. More information to follow about rucking and the event.

Talked about @F3TBone and his daughter Anne’s injury and how the F3 Nation reached out to them during this difficult circumstance. That time was used to reinforce the power of brotherhood and what F3 Nation stands for. It is an amazing testament to the organization we are a part of. BZ F3!

COT

FNG – Jason was named Slash due to his love of the hair band Cinderella. We could not think of the guitar player’s name in Cinderella, or anyone’s for that matter so we named him after the Guns and Roses guitar player Slash. In hindsight the F3 name Cindy would have been more appropriate.

Prayers for Flame’s M’s shoulder, Colombia’s Aunt’s health, and all prayers not mentioned.
