YHC wanted to change up the Saturday pace a bit and take F3 Jax out on the road around San Marco. 18 Pax posted (including 1 FNG) in the fetid gloom of a FL Aug. day to hit the road with the theme of building leaders. Big Bird stepped up to wear the Vest of the Tribute (restrictor plate)

Naked Man Moleskin:
- Total of 2.9 miles logged by the PAX in their journey
- Big Bird stood strong wearing the Vest of the Tribute the entire time
- FNG Mark became Bob the Builder and left #SadClown behind; solid work staying close to a PAX that is getting strong
- San Marco square full of people gathering for a group run- they had a look of envy as the PAX rolled through (and gave some nice applause). No successful flying EHs, but some envious looks, so maybe it will turn into FNGs
- Two ladies by Landon Park commented on what a fine looking group of men were rolling up the street (pretty sure that was aimed at Heisenberg or Mr Fix It)
- Speaking of Heisenberg and Mr Fix It- at the front of the pack the whole time-strong, strong runners
- New version of partner stand-ups a big hit- OTC happy to do some core
- Band Camp has left #SadClown behind- on our first journey 2 months ago he brought up the 6, but ran solid middle all morning
- Watch for a new workout AO and weekday coming soon
- Aug 22 is 2.0 day at the normal time and place
- It was an honor to lead this group of men on the journey- lots of pride when we rolled through San Marco #gotbetter
One thought on “Have Leaders, Will Travel”
GREAT BACKBLAST!!
I LOVE the quotes and will use they at an AO near me soon.
‘Big Bird stood strong wearing the Vest of the Tribute the entire time’ SOLID!
‘FNG Mark became Bob the Builder and left #SadClown behind; solid work staying close to a PAX that is getting strong’
‘Band Camp has left #SadClown behind- on our first journey 2 months ago he brought up the 6, but ran solid middle all morning’
Makes my day to red that kind of stuff! Keep it up fellas, you won’t regret it! AYE!
