Suck! I had at least hoped that others would feel the same and no one would come, so I could leave Hanes Park and get back in bed. But unfortunately (which I only later appreciated), several PAX showed up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Thang:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We did our customary lap around Hanes Park and I finally caught up to the group at the bottom of The Intimidator. But I surprised everyone by not stopping and asking them to follow me. We stopped instead at the bottom of Forsyth, which made people grumble about wanting to go back to The Intimidator. We ran up Forsyth four times, then moseyed to the track. We started with 4 x 100s and finished with 4 x 400s, which made for a nice 4-4-4 workout. PAX at the COT were unnecessarily kind when speaking of the plan (though notice Mongoose was not present).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the end, I realized (yet again) the reason why I come and show up multiple times a week to F3. When I try to do it by myself, it\u2019s easy for me to hit snooze, go back to bed, and spend the rest of the day angry at myself for sleeping in. I\u2019m sure there\u2019s a metaphor for life that someone smarter than me can connect here. I\u2019ll just say I\u2019m grateful for these men and grateful for F3 and leave it there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Announcements:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pollster Q\u2019d OGs Friday and followed up on his promise to post the route NOT Thursday night<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wooly Bugger has a birthday Q this week (tomorrow) and will plan do things in 4s<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Prayers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> &#8211; none mentioned<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Naked Man Moleskin<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hitman and I used to be running buddies at Redline, but now he has progressed to the faster group, who he ran with again today.
