WARMUP: The first lap behind the pacer (YHC) served as the warmup with three stops for exercises along the way.
THE THANG: The route today was a figure eight on the map — out the lot up to Skipper for a right turn at the Pharmacy (fka bank) down 160 to a right turn on Main street, down hill to a left turn on Railroad Ave left turn at Print Shop across the connector to Munroe White down the hill to Academy back to Main Street and Memorial Park.
Each time pax get to Print Shop it’s 10x Perfect Merkins (= Hand release Merkin with Shoulder tap at the top)
Each time pax get to Pharmacy lot it’s 20x Squats + 30x Plank jacks.
All pax got at least 3 laps for 3.3+ miles each.
MARY: Rebel led some Mary as the pax reconvened at the lot.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Whetstone revival at Hanging with Stang today (if you’re reading this you either made it or didn’t), Beers for Beetus, read your newsletter
COT: Pax pushed hard today, esp after lap 1 during which there was much mumblechatter. It’s cold out but not too cold for these HIMs!
Tesla and Shady were kings — crushed it, nowhere in sight!
16 pax owned Main St Fort Mill during first lap…should’ve had a camera recording the scene for a hype vid
Themes of Grace, Disgrace, Expectations and Shame running across my radar in recent days/weeks. Stirring interview with Marcus Mumford included his living for a long time “under layers and layers of shame.” Reflections on that article and his recent songs continue to draw me deeper.

Always an honor, pax! Thanks for pushing yourself and me today!
