Big Data Broga
4.58 and it was looking like a lonely broga morning for YHC only for Oyster to save the solo stretch to gather a double for the day and chip away at Hutton in BD points. Hamstrings and hips were focal point of the day in anticipation of the upcoming Old Glory. Well done.

Announcements/Prayer requests – none today
NMS – quiet day, we were missing some regulars but the hot temperatures were definitely not missed. It was great to have a FNG today (Lasso) named affectionately after Ted Lasso. Lasso is the husband of Lighthouse’s niece. They are from outside of Kiev, Ukraine and fled because of the war. They will be staying with Lighthouse and his family for a period of time. Lasso played professional Soccer and is originally from Western Africa, Biafra which is part of Nigeria. Lasso is currently in school and wants to get into Soccer coaching. Lasso seemed like a great name for this motivating FNG.

Straight no Chaser
YHC alone with his thoughts this morning while running the rough streets of northeast Midlothian. As soon as YHC got out of his truck the haunting call of an Owl on the hunt came from 1 tree over. With the skies being over cast and the mornings staying dark longer it just seemed to be extra dark this morning.
While hanging out with Gypsy and Kristen this weekend YHC might have accidentally signed up for another half in October so River Run will have to be a run again instead of a ruck to get in shape.
5:30 and no extra cars in the parking lot, route was down to the river back up through JRHS then OG Roller Coaster (one of YHCs favorites because it puts the big hill in the middle) back through JRHS. No gas in the tank to go back down to the river finished at 6:15 walked around BWES to cool down.
NMS:
As YHC was finishing up the walk around BWES there was a lady parked by the drainage area where the farel cats live, she was feeding them. YHC always finds it hard to understand people who think they need to feed wild animals. Yes, these cats may have started out in a home but they have become self dependent and her feeding them is going to hurt them in the long run if she dies or moves before they do.

Wilson-check your Ring doorbell
Low numbers from the New Market crew this AM. Not sure if it was the potential rain in the forecast or that POG was on the Q sheet but either way those that showed up got it done.
Warmed up
Did a combination of a beast and a cul-de-sac tour. Ended with some coupons.
Fudd was disappointed that Wilson didn’t show so we made sure to stop by his house on the way by.
Strong work!
