9 gents arrived to take a running route from a negligent Q. The route included a long climb up Horsepen and then a run around the perimeter of Bandy field on an extremely dark and foggy morning. Suffice to say, it was ill-advised and no one could see or find the proper path…picture every pax member going in different directions.
CSAUP this weekend. See TYA for details.

A fearsome fourteen descended upon Spider Run not expecting the unexpected.
They say, keep your friends close but enemies closer. Same goes for intervals – which YHC despises. Yet they are a necessary evil.
Route: PAX stays together and conducts several climbs up various hills surrounding UR…1 minute up then mosey back down. The PAX climbed more hills this morning than most conventional runners do in a week.

Three fearsome fellows, and one knucklehead, decided to run in the midst of a tropical storm.
NMS
In the interest of safety YHC abandoned his original plans and chose a safer “figure 8” loop that remained on the well-lit – yet flooded campus….
All finished Safe, Sound, and Saturated.

The Hateful 8 descended upon UR Commons and its signature goose-poop. Since it is all about personal choice, varying routes and distances were had.
