    MOLESKIN

    Another great showing for our temporary Saturday morning workout. Great to see Helix and Pavarotti who don’t normally come out during the week.

    The Carpenter set a record today. First time he has post twice in one week in over 6 to 9 months, haha

    Its always great to make it out to “The Hill” aka Circle K’s hill. Since its back in the woods and a good mile run to get there, we typically only use it in the last Spring and Summer when its lighter out in the gloom. It never false to beat us down

    Welcome to Spook! Neighbors with Pavarotti, he pushed through the workout even thou running is not his thing

    No major announcements this morning other than The Carpenter M (Laurie) seem have turned the corner with this illness she has been dealing with. Prayers also for all those still dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.

    SPIT ON THAT!!

    A week ago today was the 13th anniversary of the VT shooting. YHC was sick with Step Throat last week so couldn’t completed the annual 3.2 miles for 32.

    The 16th of April will always be a day of remembrance for YHC. As a college student in 2007, YHC remembers hearing the news while in the DHall on the Longwood University campus about the shooting. Also to find out the shooting was happening in the engineer building where two of YHC’s childhood friends would have had classes in. Luckily they did not but YHC with the rest Virginia college community mourned for the VT campus that day and continue to do so.
