NMM:

A fairly flat Ardmore route greeted a pack of pax, one of whom was an FNG lassoed by Double Wide(?).

Caleb Polstra is from Lansing, Michigan, attended Hope College (as a 6th generation student) and played basketball, is “about to be 24”, did the Fellows program, works “down the street”, a Green Bay Packers fan.

Burns blurted out “Tarkenton”.  A strong proposal that met no resistance.  It was quickly modified to “The Tark” which is a cool name, if you ask me.

Burlap and Mutton left early and arrived….early.

Double Wide found The Tark and Bernie after others (YHC) had departed.

Have a good week, fellas.  This was the easy part.

Knowing my pace would be slow, I plodded out around 5:22 just ahead of the first wave. I arrived back at an empty lot at 5:58, but the headlights started bouncing in. Tabata included lots of merkins, squats, sakters, planks, Mike Tysons…
