§ Third subject – Zoology. BEAR crawls and CRAB walks around the roundabout.
§ Fourth subject – Recess. Fartleks (one of Skinner’s favorite running words) back up and over bridge. Fartleks are “speed play” and consist of interval sprints to a designated destination. Pax sprinted to light/utility pole, jogged to the next, sprinted to the next, etc. to the end of the bridge.

1. Great work by all.
2. Happy Birthday to Holy Cow.
3. Cabarrus County Schools is actually having a full day today. Great to see all the students and remember why I do what I do.
4. This will be my last F3 workout for several weeks. I will be tapering for a March 15 marathon and then a week or so of recovery. I will be keeping up with you all through the Preblasts and Backblasts.
Carry on and stay strong.
