~6 miles on the trails at Vickery Park in Roswell, GA at a “conversational pace”, at least for Aflac and Bear. Francis is from Newport News and has family in Richmond.

~5-mile run on the Atlanta Beltline trail, all new to YHC but through familiar places. PAX did 8 burpees for the 8 “Good Mornings” that were returned by others on the path. Dovetail mistook YHC for someone his parents’ age until the COT! BB: PAXMiner: Previous Beatdowns – F3 Atlanta

One conquistador moseyed forth on the high plains of Santa Fe in the latest edition of The Clinic. Temperatures were 70 and sunny. According to the Hardywood’s, I.e., the family sleeping in their off-roading vancruiser across the street, the following might have happened. Exit front door of AirBandB, light stretching mixed with contemplation of the overnight snowfall (about an inch) at The Clinic. Mosey up the hill for about 2/5ths of a mile. 56 SSHs (to celebrate YHC’s big brother turning 56 today), 20 merkins, 20 LBCs, 20 flutter kicks, and 20 WWIIs. Mosey to the end of the street,…

One 2-legged traveler strapped on the blue (not the purple) New Balances for another rendition of The Clinic. Temperatures were 70 and sunny. According to the Brother adding Skateboarding to the F3 repertoire, the following might have happened. Hotel, cross Broward, Fudd (office continues to pay off), north to Broward, reverso, and BTTVSF. Number, name, and YHC took both he and Omar out (can you just show up for the COT? YHC says no). NMS: it’s hard to define the AO for a run, but at The Clinic we take all comers. Homeless men, workmen, HoneyDo, and, now, skateboarders. On…

1 early riser launched hard and fast. Temperatures were actually 70 and sunny. According to the Tesla YHC had rented, the following bodies of mass circled the car. Route – wanderlust. 45 minutes. Roam the hotel campus and surrounding neighborhood. BTTVSF. Number, name, and YHC took himself out. NMS: YHC learned three things: Renting a Tesla should require a 5 minute lesson on how to operate the car. Yes, you can lock yourself out of a Tesla. It takes about 20 seconds to break into a Tesla without damaging it. YHC estimates $8 as the cost of the tools. DM…

YHC was still Downrange in Roanoke and posted at The Pain Train with 12 other PAX. Piney was the Q and started out with what was thought thought to be the standard Side Straddle Hops until Bundy pointed out that he does them backwards. It took YHC a moment of watching with a puzzled look, before realizing what that meant. After the standard warmarama we moseyed over to the fields for a Circle of Pain. One PAX would carry a Cindy to the light pole on the other side of the fields and back and call out an exercise for…

YHC was downrange in Roanoke and got a long run in for marathon training. Summitted Mill Mountain right at the 20k mark and it was a hard trip down the mountain. 16 miles logged then great to catch up with Legz (a former coworker), who got a training Ruck in for GTE. They finished their ruck a bit earlier then expected but he hung around for some coffeeteria with YHC. Thanks Legz!

4 PAX, led by LegKick, roamed from Central to West Philadelphia to visit the Palestra. Apparently it’s one of the oldest basketball venues still in use. 4.7 miles covered on the snow and slush covered sidewalks with some pain stations looped in. The people out in Philly at 630 in the morning are much nicer than those out at 630 pm. Onsite coffeeteria post workout.
