Day: November 3, 2023

It was a perfect day for thousands of miles of running. YHC passed 10,000 miles on this run using the Nike+ app, so there’s that. There were ruckers. There were runners. We all started at 5:00. There were words said about the appropriate finish time. This is what happened…

The runners ran the route Virus put out using the map to Kevin Loftin Park, around Keener and back down to the start. We finished on time. The ruckers wandered around ruckland pontificating and finished late. Better luck next time.
