Naked Moleskin:

- May is here, and the faithful are getting serious about taking personal fitness to the next level. Thanks to Six Mike, 14 Hyper Weight Vests were delivered to Folsom Prison Yard for distribution to the faithful. Fueled by a spinach smoothie, Ann & Hope’s excitement got the better of him, and he was spotted climbing the construction fence in the early morning Gloom to claim his gear. That’s the spirit, brother!

- Originally, I had planned more of a cardiovascular day, but after an extended visit to beautiful Quail Hollow to view the awesome play of Webb Simpson, I called an audible and went back to my wheel house chest and core. My brother in crime, Chelms, on the other hand more than covered the windpipes with the Star Run. Now that hurt.

- The Nibbler, who mistakenly stood next to Dredd for the warm ups, was declared Mr. Muscle T 2012 by Dredd. The problem is – Nibbler didn’t have a Muscle T Shirt on so Dredd made one for him by ripping the sleeves off Nibbler’s shirt. The jail yard beanie is gone, but the Muscle T is here to stay. Nibbler, keep up the good work – it‘s paying off.

- New faces – it was good to see 3 new faces post at the mother ship. A special call out to FNG Abstain, who lives by Chastain Park in Atlanta but does not post. Come on brother, you gotta post when down south. Sole Dago and Want Ad, come on back next week; y’all did good today.

- The GORUCK challenge is Friday, June 29, 2012. Dark Warrior is in charge. Sign up using the promo code F3Nation and receive a $60 discount. Be sure to buy your ruck when you sign up and receive a 20% discount or contact Dark Warrior @ Rosbrook@edgeview.com early next week for a 25% discount.

- Per OBT’s request, mark your calendars for Saturday, July 14th, 2012, from 0530 to 1100 for “The Goat.” I would give you more details, but details are on a need-to-know basis and apparently I don’t yet need to know. Rest assured though, this will be a completely stupid and unnecessary event that you will kick yourself for missing if for some reason you decide not to post.

- The Pax posted strong with the down payment on Cinco de Mayo. Weather your pleasure is to celebrate El Día de la Batalla de Puebla (i.e., 2000 Mexicans kicking the crap out of 4000 French), the Kentucky Derby, or a little entertainment at the Wells Fargo Golf Championship, then you can do it guilt free.
