13 HIMs ventured out into the higher humidity of Satan’s Hill to honor YHC’s 2 years of being a part of F3. Shoutout to Heist for riding me for 5 months to finally get me out to join the brotherhood! 2 years has flown by, but not without seeing so many positive changes mentally, physically and emotionally not only in myself, but the PAX brothers surrounding me. YHC wanted to push it a little harder this morning and in the words of Nancy Lopez “You know when the run up Satan’s Hill is the “break,” it is a good workout.”…
Two gentlemen met in the pre pre dawn gloom for a mix of speed work and weighted exercises. Started with a few slow laps around the track, then 1 lap at 8min/mile pace for YHC, and 2 laps for Big Rig. Cool down for a lap or two. Then one last hot lap.

Each of us took turns leading various squats, curls etc. cool down lap, then farmer carry the implements of woe back to the vehicles. prayers for big rigs mom as she has surgery…

When I was in Charlotte and it rained, there was one person who always asked if the ‘Dry Package was Installed’. Today, we installed the dry package and went to the Dave and Buster’s parking deck. Yes, we drove there. By the way, Jim Thorpe’s birthday (AKA: Wa-Tho-Huk, May 22 or 28, 1887) might be today!
