Listeria @ The Pub

Sargento showed describing to us his recent GI Tract opportunities.  Defib asked him if he had Listeria.  The irony was not lost on anyone in attendance.

We then ran the “Sargento” route.  Perfect running weather.

All returned safely.

COT.

Announcements.  Prayers.

Great way to start the day.

Until the next one.  Aye!

F3 The Pub – February 15, 2024

Seeing no FNG’s, I gave a brief disclaimer followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.  Since it’s race weekend, many of today’s PAX ran between 4 and 5.5 miles. Great fellowship by all.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Second F Lunch at Pita Wheel in Belmont on February 21.
Q School at the Gashouse on Saturday, March 2.

PRAYERS:
Safe travels for those heading to Austin for the half-marathon and for those PAX running Dam to Dam.
Alma Matter mentioned a colleague dealing with cancer and another colleague whose son is having a difficult time with hearing.

You can’t drink all day if you don’t start early at the PUB

The Pub was open early this morning as there was some EC going on.  “Allegedly” two PAX ran four miles extra, but YHC believes that to purely bravado.

Termite’s truck was there so “allegedly” he was putting in some miles, or he could have been drinking coffee at McDonald’s, only to appear after we were well into COT.  Does he get credit for the workout?  Maybe only his truck.

 

In any event, Waterboy and I came in hot from a little EC to find 8 other PAX raring to go.  At 0529 instructions were given for two run options.

Option One:  Run to Parkwood Baptist and back for 5 miles OR:

Option Two:  Run Gaston Day School Road to E. Perry to Lee to S. New Hope (but run North), left on Robinwood, left on Hoffman and back to Pub.  YHC didn’t use up to date run mapping software from Silicon Valley.  It ended up being 5.5 miles, but everyone ran fast and returned by 0617 and an abbreviated COT transpired.  Apparently, no one had to leave early as there was some good second F afterwards.  I think JJ and Waterboy. wanted to stand around and let the sweat freeze before running back to their homes.  Do hard things as they say.

It was a great day at the PUB.  It is race season if you weren’t aware.  Points given out today to Breaker Breaker and YHC.  One can only hope Tube and Maybelline posted today as well.

Distance Matters

After disappointing Strava the day before at The Labyrinth, YHC was determined to put in enough distance to satisfy Strava.

Last week at The Pub, the discussion centered around which direction of the Defib route was worse as we ran it the regular way.. This week, we’d run it in reverse to have a sample of each.

  1. Seems like the majority of the PAX had put in some EC so everyone was ready to go.

The Pledge.

Reverse Defib route… Heard there were only 3 hills but after about 9, YHC wasn’t sure which climb was the worst.

A caucus was formed to see which route was preferred. More hands were raised for the reverse, but I’m not really sure about the integrity of the votw.

Your Distance, Your Pace

That was the old mantra at The Pub, and in some ways, it was lived out today.

0530 with 4 PAX ready to go.

Route would be the Wells Fargo Route. The need arose for one PAX to stay close to the flag so he modified to stay close to home base with another PAX joining him in that journey. The other two ran the route at a moderate pace which both agreed was much needed.

The purpose of saying all that is no matter where you are in your running ability, don’t be afraid to post at a running AO. There is always the opportunity to run your distance and your pace with an almost guaranteed assurance that someone will join you on your journey.

Announcements
Beer Mile 12/30
New Years Convergence @ Martha’s 0700 on 1/1

Apathy hits the Pub

YHC had the Q at the Pub and gave the PAX a vote to determine the route. They could choose the Defib route or the Wachovia route. One hand was raised for the Defib route. One hand was raised for the Wachovia route.
YHC was stunned and asked who would vote for apathy and Stroganoff raised his hand.  You hate to see it.
we performed the Pledge of allegiance and then
we ran the Defib route because of the hills and because it sucks just a little more than the Wachovia route.   Good conversations all around, in spite of the pathetic lack of care expressed in which way we ran. I hope they live their lives with more purpose than just passively going along!
Disgusting!

just kidding  it was great

See you at the Christmas Party!

Choose Your Hill

Almost every route at The Pub involves a hill or two to climb. Not a great deal of flat Earth in SOGA. The question going into Thursday was which hill would we climb.

Another perfect morning for running at The Pub. YHC arrived to find the PAX ready to go.

The route was announced… YHC considered the Defib route which would involve the Gut Check, but we went with what YHC refers to as the “Wachovia” route or the Wells Fargo route backwards.

The Pledge.

All PAX completed the hill climbing challenge.

Leeches & Pigs at The Pub

It was a little cooler.  Humidity still up there.

We ran the original Pub Route or the Wells Fargo Route.

Nice to have a visitor from the NC Coast, Piglet (or Piggly), still not sure what he said.

If you check out the video on Twitter (X), you can see the nasty leech I picked up on the run on my shoulder/neck area.  At least that’s the story I am telling.  The Pub is dangerous and remote apparently.  However, we endured.

Nice to see Gastone back out for a post.

Fun was had by all.

Announcements:  Upcoming Half-Marathon Ruck on Oct 21; 2nd F Lunch next Wednesday at The Pita Wheel in Gastonia; Upcoming Grow Ruck on the coast according to Piglet.

Multiple prayers still be sent out.  Many of the same.

Nice work men.  Always an honor to lead.

Until the next one.  Aye!

Waterboy may be the most interesting man in the world

This morning’s run at the PUB was a now infamous route called the Defib route, or is the reverse Defib route?

Gaston Day School Road, left on White Willow, Right on Willow Creek Drive, Left on Riding Trail, left on Windyrush, right on Hudson, left on Robinwood (part of gut check), left of Hoffman and back to start.  There was discussion post run about which way is more awful.  YHC believes this is the worst as their are numerous hills but YHC had on his HRB t-shirt.  (Hill running…..Brother?)  Whoopee wasn’t there.  YHC was looking forward to seeing where and how he parked and if he would admire my shirt.

Waterboy is taking a vacation to officiate a wedding and is going to live off the land with his M for a few days in a remote National Park on the water.  Think Blue Lagoon.  There was talk of Fox poaching to gain the pelts and craft a loin cloth.   These foxes are so sly they can unzip a backpack and climb trees.

JJ joined us at the end as he played the role of enforcer for the first four miles before joining us.  #sandbagger

Bandit handled the BB for the Diablo Sammich.

Prayers for Turtleman, Huck, Norwood, Hacksaw

It Never Rains on The Pub

Over the years, that’s almost always been a true statement. It was tested this morning, but a light drizzle during part of the run and a clear COT would once again allow that to be factual.

With a strong crowd gathered, YHC called the route before the clock struck 0530. We’d mosey what YHC calls the Wachovia Route (the Wells Fargo Route backwards).

0530

The Pledge

Some ran. Some stayed to Sammich.
