Named this Q from events I witnessed from last week. Montross gutting out the last uphill mile of Christmastown 5K, and Hacksaw limping to the end of the Turkey Day Pub 5K.

It was clear and cold. Nice starry sky with a crescent moon. Some runners were already on the course. Disclaimer was “Don’t get hurt. Be back at 6:15”.

We ran. 10 runners with the guesstimate of the average distance covered was 5 miles, some ran 7, some ran 5, YHC ran a hair under 4, some ran 3. Sister Act couldn’t pass the old geezer on the last bit.

All returned safely to the flag. Traffic was bit scary this morning. Slaw & Broke jumped in the ditch avoiding vehicles on Bessemer City Hwy, and YHC busted his butt getting out of the crosswalk at the 321 Dallas ramp where some dude didn’t slow down and ran the stop sign.

Prayer requests: Toepick’s mom, Broke’s mom, Goudelock family, praise on girl from Purple Haze’s church waiting on heart transplant, Mayor’s M, Huck’s mom and others than weren’t spoken.

Upcoming attractions: Christmas party the 11th. Sign up. Biloxi half marathon end of January.

Thanks for allowing me to Q. Sorry I forgot the pledge.
