Where three or more are gathered

Sundays are known to be the long run day around here. This past Sunday happened to fall the day after Christmas.  For a lot of reasons that is not a great day for a long run. Some of us are deep into half marathon training and others just run 10 miles every weekend so it was proposed to move the long run to Monday. All agreed but then there was some discussion if a backblast should be written since it was an unsanctioned workout. An unnamed future office holder didn’t think it should, however later he would request it to help him in his quest to reach 200 workouts. Sounds like a politician!  I politely informed him I would do what ever I wanted too. Not because I’m an a-hole, nantan emeritus, or PAX of the year but because I’m freed to lead.(narrator: sounds like someone is building a resume, also he says things like this just to get under peoples skin) It was once discussed doing the long run in Dallas due to traffic on the east side on a Monday morning. One canoe requested we do it anyway because it would help with his commute to Pineville. Of course then he didn’t show up because he has been down with the sickness(not covid per the test he didn’t take). We had about a 1 mile section where things got a little dicey but all in all it was fine. Hal made me run race pace which is very contradictory to his training plan. Of course we were chasing faster men so you’ll have that. I must say I really don’t like running this far but I do enjoy running with the men I’ve had the pleasure to do it with. We always have some good conversations and usually a good laugh.
