Introduction
Onsite early to check the Hill to see if usable. Discovered that water does still freeze below 32dgs and turns to black ice. Turns out it’s also really slippery when you walk on it. But the safety inspection worked – we knew not to use that part of the lot! Nor could we use the Hill. So back to the safe, non-slippery lot we went.
10 PAX showed up in force to join YHC for a Monday burner. Let’s go!

When I started F3 – it was about the exercise. I didn’t know anybody except Ball Boy and Cropduster and Mendoza. But those guys were so far away from BP that I never saw them.
So I wasn’t coming because my friends were here. I remember almost dying after my first post, then 4 days later almost dying again from a Mrs Doubtfire run club. Took me two weeks to get back after that. But four weeks later, I was committing to going 3 days a week. Right when we got that polar vortex and everything froze over. Guys I barely knew were asking if I was coming again after every post. It was hard to say no.
My favorite memories so far include the post where Parks & Rec had us sledding, of doing endless big boys in the dark, pouring rain next to Doubtfire, to the overwhelming burn of running through a Cooper with FIB, and definitely, definitely regretting the use of the volleyball sand court for a post.
They’re my favorites not because it was good exercise. It was because I was with my friends, and my brothers.
So I come for my brothers now. I get exercise. I get support. I get accountability. But it’s really about my brothers.
