An elite 8 arrived toat Spider Run which included a surprise visit from my son – which absolutely made my day.
Most had studied the routes which involved an out-and-back…crossing the Huguenot bridge and then heading West…
Not surprisingly, Spackler (Saab Jr.) made it look easy while I worked to keep up…and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

A six-pack of gents arrived to work on their respective six packs. YHC chose a modified version of Bodos’ “Old-Hundred” involving slightly shorter running intervals. We ended with a solid triple-check.
Good chatter was had throughout, with our newest pax member sometimes forgetting there was a workout to be had in between conversation…Welcome Beta…his name is spot-on.

Not surprisingly, YHC was the only knucklehead who attempted a run this morning, yet managed to cover 5 miles throughout the well-brined roads of UR.

Four Gents and one slightly tardy Gerry arrived for what YHC hopes was a sufficient beatdown….
Shout-out to Applesauce who, upon seeing Saab on the Q sheet, conducted detailed research into obscene jokes to present to the PAX… YHC was both pleased, and a bit flattered by the reputation he has apparently developed.

Thanks for coming out fellas…

An elite eleven plus one sexagenarian graced the grounds of Mary to experience a true geriatric beatdown. A variation of Old Hundred was administered along with a series of Court Crawls. Along the way the PAX was treated to several jokes ranging from Dad Approved, to NSFW, to SO OFFENSIVE you would never share it with anyone – other than your grandmother….
Thanks to the PAX for joining me in today’s workout and putting up with my nonsense. As I advance in age I’m reminded that it is not so much about our personal milestones, but more about celebrating the milestones of our friends and loved ones that surround our lives.
Kudos to Lab Rat for his move to the Meta death star next month…It was great to see you again buddy

A formidable 15 arrived to run/bike/walk. Out and back routes were administered with surprisingly no questions nor complaints…which YHC is prone to do.
Please support Faceplant in his (infant) diaper drive, and you’ll be helping families with limited means to afford such necessities. He is also accepting monetary contributions…

Moleskin:
YHC was appreciative being out with the PAX after being on the DL. There was a fair amount of mumble chatter which was politely ignored by YHC who was concentrating on administering the best mediocre workout he could muster. His NSFW jokes regarding mischievous monkeys and self-help books were received begrudgingly by the PAX.
Announcements:
Leave your Depends at home and support Faceplant who is collecting (infant) diapers for needy families throughout the month of October – he will be at Friday RAMM to collect.
Best wishes to our PAX member Broadway in his recovery. Reminder to us all to pay attention to those warning signs and not to hesitate in seeking medical help – it can save one’s life.
