12 SOJ beasts showed up to better themselves this morning on a beautiful 70 and sunny morning. Many showing off the new F3 swag! The shirts look great! YHC started with a light mosey over to the warmarama – SSH, Cherry Pickers, imperial walkers, copperhead squats, merkins and flutter kicks THE Thang mosey over to the tunnel of love only to find that the tunnel was too dark for YHC plans so we quickly rerouted to the hill at the entrance to the neighborhood for some 11’s – squats and drydocks on the hill… mosey back to the parking lot…

It was a blistering 26 and dark, but that didn’t stop Rosie from his uncovered knees and elbows uniform. With no one on the Q sheet and all route creativity left in 2023, we kicked off the MOT new year with an out and back on Coalfield. The pack broke into groups and got 4.5, 5, and Doozy distances. Bullseye also ran but we have no idea where. We all made it back in time to COT with SOT and we’re all better for it. Announcements – Sign up for GrowRuck or The Blue Ridge Half, or both.

Spending New Year’s Eve contributing to breaking bread for individuals that need love, kindness, and support the most this holiday season was significant for me since I spent a majority of this year on the receiving end of that same kindness with a sick child. 2023 was a year that was nothing short of the bring you to your knees type of humility that life will serve up to you from time to time. In my case, it was when my 2 month old daughter, Liv, was diagnosed with high grade glioma brain cancer on 1/13/23. Along with that diagnosis came…
Wildcat and Heist, fitness warriors with hearts as strong as their bodies, decided to bring a unique twist to their usual workout routine. Instead of doing burpees, they lifted the spirits of those less fortunate. Armed with pizzas, cookies, and salads, they marched to a respite center, ready to spread joy. As they arrived, the aroma of warm pizza caught the attention of the homeless individuals. Wildcat and Heist, clad in their fitness gear, began distributing the food with genuine smiles. The contrast of indulgent cookies and healthy salads offered something for everyone. Antoniette, initially skeptical, soon found herself drawn…
