A swarthy sextet of gloomaphiles assembled at SOT steeling their nerves for another ride on the DTH pain train. Many SOT regulars were missing as the clock struck 0530, undeniably a tribute to NTB’s burpee-loving VQ yesterday. The MOT runners took off with the entire PAX pulled into their wake, and for a brief moment YHC questioned if anyone was staying for the beatdown. “Bootcampers this way!” and five enthusiastic PAX jumped tracks to follow DTH into greatness, as follows:

NMS: Nice morning to bring the bricks back out for the SOJ SOT stud muffins, well at least for those baller enough to post. Nostalgia reigned supreme as bricks scraping on pavement kicked up a cap gun smell. Keep posting fellas – you get out what you put into it, and all the more when you’re doing it for the man next to you more than for yourself! Yours, DTH
