Three walkers, nine boot campers, and a canine were undeterred by the rain this morning. Pax running the BRR stretched the legs with a walk before departing later today. The rest of us moseyed over to the main field for COP. On the way over, a runner in the neighborhood advised us that she would be our mom and that we should have reflective illumination. We let her know that we were not running (though ironically we were running at the time) and not leaving the compound. Its always good to have a mom looking out for you. COP -…

11 men showed up on time this fine morning wondering if Your ever so Humble Correspondent’s return to the Q sheet would be uneventful or if he had forgotten how to lead the men for F3RVA.
