FNG-1 is actually "Big Spud", Kotters.

What day is it today?  Oh yeah, Monday, and a bank holiday to boot.  Which often means YHC has the Q at Titan.  Here is roughly what went down:

0500:  Run Standard with Sponge Bob, Tantrum, and we picked up Jaws along the way.

0525:  Big Spud rolled in slow.  Like, creepily slow.  We knew it was either an axe murderer or someone unsure this is where an F3 workout happens.  Thankfully, it was the latter.

0530:  Roughly ½ mile mosey to the pool house including high knees, butt kickers, long striders, Quadraphilia, and side shuffle right and left.

Quick disclaimer.

Moleskin:

  1. Every time Jingle Bells skips Titan, a kitten dies.  Also we threaten to break through his house like the Kool-Aid man, but never do.
  2. If you reverse Sponge Bob's initials, you get "BS", which coincidentally are Big Spud's initials.  Was going to call BS on these two for their sprint domination, but that's what 30 / 31 year olds do to older folk, they dominate sprints.
  3. Tantrum and YHC questioned our food decisions watching the Cowboys play while at Freedom's house yesterday.  It was touch and go for me at times today.  Thanks for the opportunity to lead buddy.  Also it was good to triple down with you on Saturday.
  4. Jaws, an Eagles fan, was kind enough not to gloat about the Cowboys loss too much.
  5. Coffeeteria afterwards was great with PAX who attended Vanquisher and The Sword there as well.  Ramrod and his band of flamers Fireball runners presumably had coffee somewhere else.

Have a great week gentlemen, I enjoyed it today.
