Personal Records

YHC was pleasantly surprised at how good it felt outside this morning as he strolled in for a little standard before the Green Mile. Running laps around the Beach Mart in hopes that someone would join, eventually turned into a quick 3 miler as cars began to arrive. The 2.0’s of Plebe showed up, not knowing that they would be pushed to new levels by Griswold in just a few minutes.

3,2 and 1 minute warnings given, and since Snookie was Q’ing for Blart this morning at The Knarr and wouldn’t be running, a 5:29 start was called and it was off to the races. Griswold, McGregor and Pigeon took the lead up front running incredibly strong. YHC got to spend some time with MeeMee this morning and enjoyed the chat while the miles were tacked on. Loved having you this morning, as it always gets the PAX pumped anytime professionals like yourself post!

Purple Rain and Lunch Box and Couch Potato at different times stayed together, and YHC has been amazed at the growth that has happened in the last couple of days by Lunch Box! Saturday evening was a Personal Record as he went out and got a great time and distance on a run. It’s always harder to run by yourself so when you post PR’s that way, T-Claps brother! This morning proved to be the best Green Mile in many ways for him and it has been simply a joy to experience and watch you grow AND shed weight my friend. Purple Rain didn’t keep the blistering pace he set out last week, but a man that eats apples and chicken has got mad respect from YHC. He and Couch Potato are great examples of what it means to be a part of F3.

Meanwhile, YHC noticed the 2.0’s of Plebe running farther and faster than they ever have, all due to Griswold pushing and encouraging them. They made it all the way to 2.5 miles before turning around and finishing the 5 Miles which is no easy thing. Pigeon turned on the burners leaving his shorter legged brother in the dust over the last tenth of a mile but quite an impressive run by you boys today! Personal Records all over the place.

With the six in, Namarama went down, announcements and then prayer led by Pigeon. The weight loss challenge has definitely infused some life into the Western Pax and regardless of who wins, these men are pushing themselves in a way that only F3 men can. Thanks for letting me run with you guys and for the encouragement.

Next Week- Virgin POST at the Green Mile being made by Snookie will be happening. This would be a huge day to come out and help shatter everything he thinks running is 🙂 Looking forward to it bro! Until next Monday, keep running and getting better, one mile at a time. Thanks for letting me lead today Maytag!
