5:30 AM, lace up the running shoe straps and off YHC went into the gloom. Winterfield -> Salisbury route and around the school for 3.75 miles. Passed a good number of people out this morning through the mist but no signs of F3 garb. Maybe the Homegrown Half wore em down.

Sent out the bat signal the evening prior to some of the locals. YHC was solo parenting and therefore only able to run around Mount Hill Drive, hoping maybe someone would join from Bettie Weaver or at the least by sending the message forcing myself to get up and exercise. 3 miles of back and forth was the mileage solo in the books, assuming no one made River Run based based on the feedback from locals so I’m taking the backblast.

Three heard the sounds of, could that be, rain? As they emerged from the gloom to log a few miles. All participated in the logistics, slightly modified version of the Walton Park -> Grove loop. 4ish miles depending on gastro conditions (YHC).
Great chatter mi amigos. We all learned our paths have crossed with a particular housing developer in our industry and shared stories. YHC found that comical, hence the title.
The college age children will be disappearing into the distance soon as they return to their academics. Enjoy the time.

The three regulars posted for a soupy ‘run’ through Salisbury to Winterfield and back for 4ish miles.

Two River Run OGs led the way through the heavy morning mugginess up Twin Team through Powderham around Brigstock to Solstice and back to the start for 4 miles. Battle stories were traded.
-Singer
Did MOT move? Worse yet, cancelled? Hopefully not but as YHC returned from vacation to a desolate start, the darker thoughts emerged. Off we go….Salisbury for some tree cover from the light rain. 4 miles and done.

Bullseye and I ran the river run loop 2 times and called it a day. Good stuff. Put it in big data.

Yes, Last Call made his first showing of fiscal year 2025 at River Run after much previous banter from pax members.
Route – slow and steady, avoid the hills as much as possible, mosey around the high school to River Downs and partially up roller coaster for 4 miles. Doozy added more.
Great to have Last Call join us this week. Hopefully he becomes a regular. Certainly not the lounge he’s accustomed to at Bettie Weaver as was pointed out. Way to go.

4 south side regulars ascended on River Run for an OG River Run route – Robious park parking lot loop back to Bettie bus loop, repeat once for 4 miles.
Conversation was plentiful as we made our way back and forth to the park. Good to have OC back in the mix.
Up twin team, through Powderham over to Brigstock and Mt. Hill, return to school. 4.5 miles in total.
