7 gathered on this warm Friday morning to run or walk off some calories. The pax moved at different paces based off condition or physical limitations. A few covered 4.4 miles and others made it 5.5 with Doozy at the lead picking up different members sprinting all over the route. As the appointed Q I picked the figure 9 route up Pump, left on pump at split right on theee Chopt and right on John Rolfe back to the flag. Afterwards we had coffee at Dunkin’s and discussed the harsh reality of getting old and the physical beat down hard younger lives can take a toll on the body long term. Whitesnake noticed Miley singing in background a doing about her woes of old age….in he late twenty. Ha ha just wait till she hits 50. Always good to have brothers together. There are many who are dealing with sickness and medical issues out there. Prayers for all struggling. Especially Fireman ed, Roger Rogers wife, Fudd’s sister, Gypsy’s step son and many other’s. Head up and faithful will hopefully make the burdens of life more tolerable.

The assigned route was a familiar one running through senior lot to Hickoryridge then left onto Falconbridge, left onto Raintree, right to Ridgefield, left onto Cox, left onto Brookmont, right on Pump and then up to John Rolfe to Glen Eagles and then back home on Old Prescott. 4.7 miles total for those who did the entire thing. Some never left and did workouts around the school, some went back after Brookmont and maybe did an extra lap around the school, and then there is Doozy.

He was not there when we started but we thought we passed him on Glen Eagles–we were not really sure. He was not there when we finished but his car was there so we knew he was around. And then he showed up during the COT. Credit to him for showing up when it sounds like he did not want to get out of bed and he pushed himself to come and do some walking.

Prayers for Tanner, Molly, Fireman Ed, Mary, Gaudi’s wife and all the family members and health care workers involved to bring comfort and good health.

Bro Code.  IYKYK.

Metal was the topic of the morning.  Mr. Rogers is going to head bang to The Four Horsemen all night in downtown Waynesboro.  Rumor has it they are better than the real thing.  Ukraine prefers Indie Rock.

The consensus is that running sucks, but we should just do it.  Especially when there are starving children in Africa who would love to be able to run.  Oh, and a demon dog stared us down from the woods along Falconbridge.

Pretty quiet morning, just some ferocious canines and talk of AI sex dolls.  Whitesnake was so appreciative of the pre-nounced directions that he decided to run it virtually.

A rabbi and a priest went for a walk in the park, and strolled by a large lake. Suddenly the rabbi said: “Let’s go in and do some ‘baptism’, the water looks really clear!” “But we don’t have swimsuits” the priest told him. “So what?” replied the rabbi, “Let’s go into the water as God created us.” The priest thought for a moment and then agreed with him. They took off their clothes, laid them on a piece of grass at the edge of the lake and went in for a short dip. After a few minutes they left the lake and walked back towards the place where they had put the clothes. Suddenly the two noticed a small group of people staring right at them. Embarrassed, the priest tried to cover his shame with his hands. He looked to the side and discovered that the rabbi was covering his face with his hands. “What are you doing?!?” hissed the priest, “cover your privates!” “I don’t know how it goes in YOUR congregation.” Said the Rabbi, “but my people recognize me by my face!”

Seven us ran to the same lake and found a way back to the flag with our clothes on. Total of 4.9 miles was the long route. Blue Moon did the Pigskin Special, without Pigskin = laps around the school with merkins and dips each lap.

Half us met at Dunkin’ after.

We all know about lunch on Tuesday at Firehouse Subs in Innsbrook. And everyone can’t wait to see my band on 10/12 from 6-9PM at the Kindred Spirit Satellite near the Diamond.

I am still working on a catchphrase to close my backblasts. Maybe something from, “I have had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane! Everybody strap in! I’m about to open some fuckin’ windows.” or from Beavis: “Butt-head, this book kicks! There’s a talking snake, and a naked chick, and the this dude puts a leaf on his schlong.” I think the winner may be “Take your filthy hands off my asp”.

Even Bro Code needs a leader.  Someone has to present the brilliant idea of running it in reverse, or original style depending how long you’ve been around.

Here’s where we went:

• R on Pump
• L on Ridgefield
• R on Copperas
• R on Church
• R on Pump
• Back to VSF

Pigskin nearly took on a car, Pigskin would’ve won.  Unless of course Chuck Norris was behind the wheel, then it would’ve been a tie.  The lead pack talked about a Flesh Anchor among other things.  If you know, you know.  If you don’t know, ask your mom.

0530 AM in Westhoe on a Friday only means 1 thing. Lace up boys Currahee is calling and we have miles to put in. Hope you remembered a headlamp because we are headed deep into Deep Run park.

This is the 1st time I tried to navigate Gomer Pyle’s “get everyone lost” route through Deep Run so we will see how it goes. Pigskin was smart and said he would head another direction and Gomer is holding down the Broke Dick brigade. With 2 crotch sniffers and 6 pax set for the route we all head out. I think the entire run can be summed up b the King of Mubblechatter (Handshake) “I love running in Deep Run park. Just hate running to it and running back to the AO.”

We all made it back, but had 5 mins of extra credit. Conversation was great along the way until Lighthouse decided to toss out a pace challenge on Brookmont and we stepped it up a bit.

In all, the pax hit between 3.5 and 5.5 miles. Not bad for a park run.

SYITG!!

Confused yet?  It really wasn’t that hard.  Just two big loops.  Mileage fell just a bit short of 4.5.  Apologies to those seeking more and for leaving Pigskin behind.  Maximum effort from Whitesnake and YHC.  The rest of them made it look easy.

Rolled my ankle last week and bailed 1 mile in. Guys had the route and I hobbled back.

No COT or announcements since I wasn’t there.
