8 pax saw the weather forecast and knew they had to get out there and hit the pavement.

The Thang:

1. Classic “Christenbury Uphill Both Ways” out and back route.
2. HC Parkway to Christenbury, to Christenbury hood entrance, run to cul-de-sec where the greenway trailhead is, turn around, hit one other cul-de-sec for some additional mileage, and head home.
3. 5 miles for the full route.

The Naked Moleskin:

1. When we used to run this route there was significant mumblechatter re: how it felt like an all uphill route.  Guess it is a sign of our pax’s overall fitness gains b/c not a single person mentioned it today – at least not that I heard.
2. It was great to have 5 guys post who also posted to #TheShield last night.  Who would have guessed when we started F3 Highlands 3.75 yrs ago that there would come a day when our  #3rdF workout would pull in more pax than an actual workout?  17 pax last night at #TheShield.  If you have not added the first Tuesday of each month to your calendar as a must attend appointment, do it now.
3. A funny thing happened after COT.  We were standing around stretching when we heard a can get blown out of the recycle container about 40 yards away.  Then we all watched it in astonishment as it began an insanely long wind assisted roll towards us.  We all joked about which man the can would choose, and then it rolled right through YHC’s legs as I was stretching.  Not sure what I was chosen for, other than to take the cue and go buy a case of Rolling Rock….
