YHC took us out with prayers of thanks to the SkyQ for the existence of F3 and motivation to continue to reach out to others.
Moleskin:
-All things considered, the storm did not impact the run in a meaningful way. The wind blew pretty hard at times, and we heard several branches snap, but running was not inhibited.
-YHC is happy to report that all pax were well lit. Spamalot, of all pax, reenacted the witch’s melting scene from Wizard of Oz when several pax with headlights on were circling back.
-Zima marked his territory mid-run. A couple of pax running a separate route came upon him in the gloom. Not sure who was more freaked out.
-WeFoCo is suing Van Gogh for disfiguring the Distillery with rock shenanigans. YHC is of the opinion that this whole rock fad needs to go away.
-In addition, backblast records posted by Cherry Pie, Van Gogh, and Huckleberry in the last week need to be stricken from the F3 Winston-Salem website in order to not deter potential FNGs leading up to the March 7th convergence.
-Ramses probably put in 7.5 miles on the 6-mile route; he led the way and ran past several turns only to double-back and pass the pax again.
-Van Gogh may begin going by the moniker “Van Visor.” He had a supercool and futuristic headlamp.
-Good to see Harden out on the bike this morning as he continues to recover from plantar fasciitis.
-When you see an eighteen wheeler headed your way on Idols Road, head for the ditch. Also, when you see an Accord that has stopped at an intersection for an extended period of time, assume that they are texting and not stopping for you.

Great morning, boys. Thanks for coming out. Mash, the keys blew away.
