15 crazies ventured into Birkdale for a "brisk 5k" as advertised on Twitter. It was brisk or cooler than normal. And several men like Einstein, Soprano, Hoodie, Omega, and No Rope were running fast.
And yes, we ran the 4 Banger course to the Westmoreland trailhead. Total 3.7 miles. Soprano and Einstein were sub 7 most of the run.

MOLESKIN:
1. 3.1 or 3.7 miles? That's a Q fail, but we got back right at 6:15 on the dot. No lingering at pain stations today. No official warmup – that's Scrappy approved.
2. Grenade came in at 5:31 dropping F bombs lije a salty sailor. Lonestar actually beat him.
3. Thug was drapped in his normal homemade doo-rag dropping gang signs through Birkdale as we rolled to some classic rock: Queen, Fleetwood Mac and then we pumped it up to Guns N' Roses and ended with Bon Jovi's Bad Medicine.
4. Hoodie disappeared into the gloom. Soprano and Einstein were there too. They were battling demons in the woods and raging against the machine.
5. No Rope and Omega went out hot, but were caught whispering in each others ears on their leisurely skip back to Birkdale.
6. Outlaw was indignant at the extra miles, so we stayed away and he only got F2 today.
7. Riverboat tried talking to Stromboli, but Strom also looked pissed at the extra mileage and Ron also disappeared into the gloomy trail.
8. Mulligan kept to himself and hung with Thug most of the workout.
9. Tammy Faye made sure the FNG, Aaron Ernst, was on pace and may have popped his knee back into place a few times. Ouch.
10. Grenade was still dropping F bombs after COT.
11. Father Omega took us out today and YHC bought coffee after dragging the Pax the extra .6 miles.
Aye,
Scrappy
