One of the speakers was Farris Barakat, brother to Deah Shaddy Barakat, a second year dental student at UNC, who was murdered 2-10-15 at his home in Chapel Hill.

Light Posts Rocks

So it is another fine day in southern Cary and how else should we start other than with nice cold 5:30am exercise with 12 PAXs. Warm Up It was cold, well at least I was, so we ran from flag toward park and did two laps so we would not be too cold during warm up. Then we started with 12 Good Mornings because the Q was having trouble breathing and counting at the same time and did not know when to stop.

Q-ing from the Sidelines

Flirting with Disaster was my first F3 post last August and I knew that I wanted my VQ to be here as well. It was a full circle as Joe Smith had his VQ at my first post and he was out there with us this morning. My goal was to cover some ground and avoid running in the pitch black (towards the bridge) as I didn’t know how may headlamps we would have amongst us. [Read More]
