COT

  • F3 at WSSU tonight (4/2) at 6:00PM; see @ToeTag for details
  • @JuiceBox joined us about .25mi up the road. It was a good thing he showed up, otherwise @Hedwig and @BoutTime would have had to run by themselves…
  • The gain on this route was deceptive – some long uphills on Hawthorne and Knollwood (and a few others thrown in)
  • Thanks to the PAX for picking up the six (“the six” = YHC)
  • Talked about some movie trivia during Tabata; some of the PAX were too young to know anything about Spaghetti Westerns and The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly
  • Thanks for the keys, @BoutTime! Enjoyed running & gunning with you guys this morning!

Aye!

Playlist

Continued prayers for Juice Box and his speedy recovery. 9/11 remembrance at BBT field  The event starts at…

    B is for Bananas

    YHC grabbed the keys to #RNG and wanted to mix up the routes a bit. YHC initially looked at Leinbach Park (RIP) but couldn’t find a route that didn’t require going on Robinhood or Peacehaven. With safety first, YHC pivoted to Messiah Moravian. The downside to this location? I can’t see any! Great-sized parking lot,…
