So on the way to Pub Sargento was tailgating me and there was almost a road rage incident. (However, he was early so credit is due!)
The Pub was muggy this morning, something Defib blamed on YHC (Q-Fail).
By popular demand we decided to run a different way and during the mostly non-existent disclaimer, it was a shorter route that you would have to add to if you wanted 5 miles. Broke liked that it was shorter and signaled so by saying “Good” when I announced it would be different than most of our regular 5 mile routes.
The route was Gaston Day School Road, right on New Hope, left into the far Ashbrook HS parking lot (parallel to Dunkin Donut fence) and all the way to the back drive that leads to the Driver’s Ed track where YHC learned to take hot laps in a ‘Vette. It was a Chevette. I am not sure anyone knew that the secret driving track existed but now you know! We learned there are cross country trails back there that have not been explored by F3 but maybe one day. Hitting two miles on the single track driveway down the hill, a few “hot laps” were in order to increase the mileage. Some chose to run up the hill and go around the big parking lot. Dr. Seuss was out front and thankfully remembered to turn at Dunkin so good job there, but he almost went the wrong way leaving the Pub. Good grief!
The route had some hills and was a little different but everyone finished and seemed to enjoy it more than most Pub runs, or so it has been written here.
Announcements: Turtleman Social tonight at 1830 at the Dairy Queen on Union Road.
Leadership Meeting at Lineberger Park on Sunday, June 13, at 1600 hours.
Prayer Requests: Turtleman, Sargento safe travels, Big Pappy, Safe travels and a great half marathon for Termite out west.
I hope to see some more Pub regulars soon. Looking at you Stroganoff and Gastone!
