Naked Moleskin:
1) More running this morning than usual (2.4 miles in total), but thought the beach and lake view were worth the difficult uphill climb home. Take a look here for stats courtesy of D/T (http://connect.garmin.com/activity/184289357).
2) Strong showing from Metallica this morning. Not only did he run from his house to H/T, he was reeling in Skipper on the uphill climb back from the beach.
3) Inspiration for the Man Bridge came from article about Michigan football team doing some “leadership training” with some Navy SEALs in Coronado…much to the dismay of our ND/OSU contingency (http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/7987071/michigan-wolverines-take-leadership-training-road). “Embrace the Suck” should definitely be part of the F3 Lexicon.
4) T-Claps to our FNG Brian Massey. Putting one foot in front of the other will become easier each time you join us.
5) Did not get to quite a few things on my list this morning – originally planned to divide up and Indian Run from the beach to the park entrance, and thought a good stretch from our leader would be more beneficial than a little MARY to close. But there is always next time.
Pax Tibi,

Good one today, M-16! After looking in my car and shoes, I’m surprised there is any sand left on that beach. My vote is “Wolverine” for the man bridge – low crawl exercise.
-
I loved that workout today. Something new. Sand is everywhere. Moses and Mounty spotted me hosing myself off in the driveway before I was permitted back in the house by M. Drive-Thru. AYE!!
-
Your M is up WAY earlier than mine. I was so smoked I climbed back in the fartsack and forgot about the sand. Good thing I can run the washer!

Curses Skipper! How could you possibly acquiesce to an exercise named for the mascot of that school up north? It’s a Navy Seal exercise, they didn’t invent it or anything.
On second thought, it is an easy exercise where we slither on our bellies. Wolverine may be the most appropriate name. AYE! Outlaw
