MUBLECHATTER
-Two FNGs out with us today!  Xavier courtesy of Dora (glad to finally meet him too) from the Marietta area.  Hopefully he'll plug into a group down that way.  Also, Sean courtesy of Stitches.  He's a transplant all the way from Mt. Holly and wanted to check things out.  Can't wait for the 2nd post and naming.
-Finkle couldn't decide if it was the F3 Denver Twitter page or YHC on Q that brought everyone out of the fartsack this morning (def wasn't the 10 degree increase)
-The RESPECT crowd was in full effect with Iron Horse, Sparrow, SWIFL, and Sonar, tho Sparrow did try to sneak out the side door hoping no one would notice
-Crabby and Thunderclub silently led the way but not without some heckling encouragement from their partners
-Glad to have Scope, Zippy, Stitches, and Bertha back out in the gloom with YHC
-Ruck in arms with Clark, Thrift Shop and Finkle fashioning a weight vest or ruck along with YHC for some added fun
-For those wondering, the workout came from a new GoRuck program called the "Tribe."  I'm normally not a big fan of the subscription path, but this one is pretty cool.  Did I mentioned there's a patch…EVERY MONTH?!  Do the workout, do the mileage, Read the book, and do the additional tasking.  Check it out if you'd like
-Also, GrowRuck22 is in the Myrtle area 4/30 to 5/2!!!  Ask YHC or Zippy about how awesome this event is.

 

Pleasure to lead and be led by you fine men,

Hefty
