    A nudge by Corporate early in the week to fill a gap in the Q sheet was just what YHC needed.  Far too long and few DogPile Q’s highlight YHC’s file.  Great to have Flatline back out in the gloom.  He remains the F3 Covid Czar and instructs the PAX to watch how things go in Sweden with herd immunity.  Though he hopes for a halfcourt shot vaccine in 8 months he suggests that everyone forget about sports and concerts for a really long time.  On a far less serious note, ask Gomer to demonstrate his new and improved version of Gorilla Humpers and ask Hardywood to show you his Real World audition tape.

  • Saturday Morning Book Club

    Just when you thought Hardywood and Swirly couldn’t get anymore super, they decided to run to the run before the workout. Next week, they plan to run to the run before the run to the thing. Along their merry way they picked up 3 more. Just to keep things fresh, the PAX took a right on Freeman off of Cary and proceeded past City Stadium to Douglasdale, to Blanton, Rugby, and Pumphouse back around to DogPile launch. Route after the thing was direct. Roughly 4 miles were covered. Hardywood will be putting out his own Best Sellers list soon.

    YHC audibled halfway through the COP to avoid getting wet, but staying dry was simply not to be. Can’t attest to the dampness of the other PAX, but YHC was thoroughly drenched by sweat on a warm April morning after moseying 2 miles. Noted advantages of First Watch’s early launch to name a few, organically fewer than 10 PAX, driving a motorcycle without lights is acceptable, beating an early morning rain shower, post workout nap, too dark to see the pollen you ingest. During the 4 Corners a white Jeep Cherokee flew by heading west on River, YHC speculates Honeydo fartsacked First Watch, was heading to WDog, but had to turn back with a turtle head pokin.

    Whilst the masses slumber, assassins lurk in the shadows, ready to pounce with merkins, squats, and burpees. Under the cover of darkness, ninjas mosey about Tuckahoe ready to strike, leaving no trace behind but the pungent scent of piss and vinegar and a 4th F or two. Raiding and pillaging and violating unsuspecting driveways all while swinging big bells. Chuck Norris even checks under the bed for this faceless, nameless threat at night. The earliest of AOs has been a secret, unknown to many before now, birthed by Kubota one cold November morning, the time has finally arrived for the world to know, the First Watch lives.

    YHC usually has a plan, today that plan was not to plan, well except a trip over to campus.  The uneven PAX of 5 made sure YHC had to think on the fly.  A quick glance at the map and one can actually see there’s a path from College over to Crenshaw.  Unsure if that was a private drive, YHC was informed it is the President’s.  Not to worry, YHC and ol’ Ron Crutcher go way back, he won’t mind.  He and the Lady Spiders Field Hockey team might however mind the big dump Honeydo took on their pristine artificial playing surface.  Anyway it was fun to see something new and YHC loves it when a plan without a plan comes together.

    As AC/DC once sang that was a Whole Lotta Mosey, well close enough.  Kubota clocked over 3 miles.  The loop itself around was measured at about 2, but with plenty of running in the Dora and high knees 3 miles seems about right.  YHC successfully confused Offshore so much he thought the Kanawha tennis courts were part of some unknown baseball complex.  Apparently still dazed he took to doing his Monkey Humpers in oncoming traffic.  As he snapped out of it and avoided disaster, he joked that the headline would read “Local Man Dies Doing Monkey Humpers.”  YHC noted, “At least you’d die doing what you loved.”  Thanks for getting up extra early to see some sites.  Make it a great one.

  • French Models

    Legend has it that 8 topless studs moseyed from ET’s to DogPile then again in reverse, roughly 4 miles and some change. Twas a tit bit nipply. Or maybe the true story is that one unnamed PAX recently ogled a topless French model while lounging on a Bahamian beach with reckless disregard for subtlety and now has a new favorite Insta follow. Rumor has it a return trip has already been booked.

  • Trails with Friends

    Mostly men, a couple of dogs, and a TYA set off to run trails this fine day. Some early and some at the prescribed time. Various distances were covered, the standard PAX logged about 7 miles going South to North with a little Belle Isle excursion. Faceplant arriving a little late went North to South. Others went unknown directions. YHC took it upon himself to include the early launchers in this backblast. If they’d like to report anything special about their run, they can call the Thursday morning hotline. It was super, Helix led the way.
