Mary Munford Elementary
Brief mumble chatter until the route was called and off we went on Reverse Carillon. Great conversation along the way, and even a Sippy Cup spotting.
At one point on the route we almost stepped on what looked like a skunk pancake. If anyone was going to make contact with the remnants, it would be Marv.
–> 10/14 for the 12th annual beer mile. See Slack for details.
YHC took us out.
East on Grove to Rosneath head North. 5s/6s do a loop around Bramley Park and check the tap at Starr Hill and make their way back to Broad. Head west and take Lafayette to Grove and circle the block around the AO.
Anthrax took us out. Oyster is grateful for a fast back blast today.
Announcements: Convergence tomorrow at 730
Yeah, the routes today were a bit complex. The Pax came equipped with maps and readiness to explore roads otherwise not trodden. Cooler weather hopefully signal prime running conditions going forward.
Byproduct took us out.
Trees down along the route, including a couple at the AO. One hit the new arbor and turned it into a well camo’d hunting blind.
Another simple quadrilateral , with Broad St as an eastbound thoroughfare. There was admiration of the new development and luxury lodging along the route.

Down the western road
Smell the bacon in the air
Bakery donuts
Not the haiku run
But let’s keep it short for fun
Coffee afterwards
TYA took us out.
Eleven of the best the commonwealth has to offer gathered on the pavement this time for some running at/around (but not in) Mary. Route was posted last night but there were still ample questions, primarily questioning whether this was a variation of the reverse or regular Carillon route. I called reverse, but on second thought maybe it was forward. Only the cowgirl truly knows.

5s don’t do the loop at the beginning, just head down grove
4s head down grove and right on Auburn and ditch the falcon at the end (no takers)
Walkers did this in reverse and got in 2.75.

Say what you want about our lack of ability sometimes to consistently post at Mary (either 45 or running) but when this group gets together, comedy ensues. YHC never knew there was such disagreement on the preposition in the middle of this AOs moniker. TYA birthed it, so he gets to make the final call.
Discussion included whether we should revert back and do another year of Grove or if Marv will mutiny again. Perhaps we should sign up Lockjaw to Q for the rest of the year again. All great memories that will likely not be repeated.
Welcome FNG Frankie! Aptly named as Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons was his first concert. Frankie is 28 so he probably saw the real Frankie when he was 75 years old.
Have a great weekend y’all.

Chilly, wet, and moist…Enjoyed the company and COT.

Run, walk, hobble…it did not matter. 7 gentlemen made the best of a morning that was deemed “hot”. As to how hot it was – relative to how hot it could be or has been – was open to debate – including which internal organs were the most vulnerable in high temperatures.

Route:
Below is the 5M route: Everyone begins by taking the left onto Locke Lane off Grove….
4Ms: when you reach the top of Paxton and cross over to Tuckahoe, take a right on Grove and head back to Mary
6Ms: Same route as 5s but take a +1 lap around Hillcrest.
Five fearless fun-seekers flocked to the faculty field (of asphalt) for our Friday formalities. Unbeknownst to the Q, an alliteration was called. Fartleks on Fitz-Hugh.

YHC woke up today noticing no Q was on the sheet. Realizing intervals at Mary hadn’t been called in a while, YHC took the opportunity. It was hot, sweaty, and fun. Everyone agreed.
You are welcome Wedding Singer for the audible reminder of how sweaty it was today.
Splinter out.
