Twelve accomplished gentlemen fought off the allure of a warm fartsack for today’s drizzling edition of Spider Run. Even though there were complaints offered on Slack last night, directions were spot on so off we went. The Route 4s: Refuted impeccable instructions and went across the bridge and back 5s: Up along the lake by the baseball field Across the parking lot to College Right on Campus Left then hard left on West Bostwick to the parking lot and back Up Bostwick proper back to Campus Left then hard left on Old Mill to the end and back Up Old…

A formidable 15 arrived to run/bike/walk. Out and back routes were administered with surprisingly no questions nor complaints…which YHC is prone to do.

Fifteen runners and walkers departed into the cool fall mist – seeking hills to cover and darkness to overcome. According to the four deer in the woods and the vocal owl in the tree canopy, all routes were covered with success, camaraderie, and conversation. YHC took us out.

With Splinter downrange, Saab on the mend, and Lockjaw parts unknown, someone had to step up. Here’s the last second plan: Out the Batcave Take Westham Station to S Ridge 4s – Hit River and Reverso 5s – River and Reverso, plus Highland or Old Bridge 6s – River and Reverso, Old Bridge and Highland, and Panorama, plus something else Back to SF Numberama, Nameorama, COT MOLESKIN Hey, at least it wasn’t over the Huguenot Bridge or GROOOVVVE.

We had a solid turnout this morning with twelve men hitting the pavement for the spider run. Runners tackled different distances: The 4-mile crew completed 3 laps around the track, while those pushing for 5 miles logged 7 laps. Our distance seekers went the full 6 miles with 11 laps under their belts. Important Reminder Time is running out! We have just two days left to support our brothers in Kenya. We’re still accepting donations of shoes, socks, or cash. If you’ve been meaning to contribute, now’s the time to make it happen.

Twelve spiderlings found our secret lair and took on today’s navigational challenge. Even the one cherry popper managed to find his way back today. After EF Hutton aggressively repeated himself to week 2 cherry popper Noodles, YHC offered disjointed directions before off we went.

Four spiderlings waiting as long as possible to disembark from their chariots to hear the concise but clear instructions. 2 launched early (for some reason).

Eleven port-o-jon fanatics huddled in our favorite Tuesday morning gathering spot for this 9/9 edition of Spider Run. After warning shots were fired on multiple slack channels yesterday, to minimal grumbling, brief instructions were offered. Only one dissenter today. By all accounts he still had fun.

YHC’s return to running from a permanent taper has left things rusty and ripe for improvement.
