The BackBlast:

Sometimes it just takes a little guilt to get people out in the Gloom. Participation at The Arrowhead has dwindled in direct proportion to the temperature. With only a few weeks left in 2021, I thought it was important to get a good group out there! With the help of some public shaming and “callouts”, we had 7 PAX at the Arrowhead. Sand Trap joined for the first time in a LONG time (his first F3 post), and Duke and Strudel came out of their respective Arrowhead Hiatuses (Hiati? Hiatuseses?).

There are still others that I would like to see make an appearance, but I’ll save the callouts for another day.

We all successfully completed the Hennings and Alderfer Park Loop.

• Leaving the Park toward Kulp Rd, we followed the path toward Hennings (successfully jumping a construction site in the process)
• We crossed Clemens Rd. and Main Street to pick up the path in from of Hennings.
• We followed the path behind Hennings until we reached Bell Lane.
• We took the long way around Belle Lane (extra 0.3 miles) and crossed over Moyer Rd. to Pondview Dr.
• We picked the path back up and headed into Alderfer Park
• Out of Alderfer, we make a left on Oak, and picked up the path near Oak Dr. and Broad St.
• We followed the path, crossed Main Street again at Bullfrog’s, and followed it back to the Flags at the Community Center.

PAX ran between 5.0 and 5.45 miles.
