Moleskin AKA Random Spud Musings
- Running a third of a mile at a time still wears you out, especially uphill.
- Don’t sleep on your boy’s ability to plan/time a workout.
- Got just over three miles, as intended.
- 192 dry docks, 128 squats, 64 WWIIs
- I wonder why there are dumbass F3 names for some exercises, but not for all. Why don’t we call Squats detonators or some random shit like that.
- It always gets colder when you run down mugga.
- It always gets darker when you don’t wear a headlamp, 8 garmins flashing in the light is not quite as illuminating.
- If you’re trying to slow pax down, call out a pole that isn’t there in 95% darkness.
- Always fun to see Cat in his finery at coffee after sacking your Q. :sadface
- I like the beatdowns where you stick together. I also wanted to get 3 miles, so that’s what I did.
- My calf still doesn’t care for uphill or side to side.
- We have some MF height at F3 Concord. None taller than Luthor…none.
- Every day I do F3 is better. Every day I don’t, I regret it. Not because of the workout, but because of the accountability.
