Medicine Woman wasn’t feeling well so I hijacked the Q for the premier Dallas Wednesday running AO. Arriving a few minutes before 5:30 am and Sparky and Seuss were on their way towards uptown Dallas. Me, Broke and Oompa took off toward the college where we saw Hacksaw going towards Folsom. We crossed paths with Roundup and then Doodles. Tater Hole was rolling through the college somewhere. Broke, as he is famous for, pulled me to my fastest pace in a while. I almost didn’t show but I am always glad when I do.

It was a very nice beat down and the guys as always were inspiring. It was a perfect way to start the day.
As always I cant tell you how great F3 has been to me, my life, my job, and marriage. The change has been in attitude. It is such a great way to start the day around guys with much better attitudes that what I ultimately experience throughout the remainder of the day. If we can take our refreshed positivity and encouragement into our day and effect 1 person we have no idea what kind of ripple effect it will have in the community.
Thank you PAX for the support and encouragement.
Aye! Cheers! Peace!

It was a very foggy morning driving to The Storm this morning. Received a late text the night before from Sargento indicating he would be getting some EC in by running from his house to the Storm and wanted a ride back home after the workout. As I was driving to The Storm, I was hoping he didn’t run down Cramer Mountain due to the heavy fog. As I pulled into the parking lot, noticed his car was already there, along with 14 other cars. Nice turnout for the gloomy morning.
