The BackBlast:

It was wet at the Grill with a light drizzle and mist.  The steady rain was over which was good for the upcoming race.  By the time the PAX were assembled, the park was already busy with preparations for the Spring Chicken 5K race which is a fund raiser for Life’s Choices.  This year’s race was also in remembrance of Treehugger who was on the board of directors of Life’s Choices and is legendary as the man who won races while pushing a stroller with two kids in it!  Despite the rain the race had a record turnout and was ultimately was very successful.

Since most of the PAX were planning to participate in the race, we opted for a very light workout.

Following the workout some went to Four Twelve for a quick cup of coffee and then back to the race where we met up with a number of F3 PAX from Fleetwood and the Lehigh Valley.  It was a fun time.  It is always good to catch up with the regional PAX.  Good times.
