"Three shall be the number of the counting and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count two, excepting that thou then proceedeth to three." J-Ro tells of the Holy Hand Grenade and how to handle it, while we trot westward in the dark toward Starbucks. It's E.R.'s first trek with the group. His phone alarm goes off at mile 3 as we walk up a hill and the sun begins to rise. "Time for me to wake up!" he says. K2 and Roadkill review the rules of Dawn Patrol:

• "If anybody suggests doing anything audacious, the correct response is: I'M IN!"
• "Leave no one behind!"
• "What's said on the trail, stays on the trail!"
• "Have fun every run!"
• "When someone asks 'Have we been that way before?' about a detour, we must take it!"

And most important:

• "Take care of each other at all times!"
