Fitness, Fellowship, Faith
8 for some moseying this morning at The Pub. Due to multiple factors, this was my first post at The Pub in 3 months, the AO that is closest to my house. Ridiculous.
7 ran. One did something else.
Fun was had by all.
COT
Lunch next Wednesday, the 19th at Bubba’s 33; F3 Dad’s this weekend; Lightning PT test and another annihilation workout coming soon.
Prayers for the Barnes family and others.
Thanks for the opportunity to lead.
Until the next one. Aye!

YHC had the Q at the Pub this morning. We ran to Martha Rivers Park and back.
Announcements:
Extinction Run at Primal Brewery, Saturday at 9 a.m.
Murph – May 27 at Sandlot, 7 a.m.
So a series of unfortunate events kept several hundred PAX at home in what would have been the largest crowd ever to gather at the PUB. Instead, 8 strong runners showed up. YHC is happy to report that Alma Mater arrived right at 0526, just like he said he would, and drove his car into the PAX of the AO almost like Charlottesville except without casualties.
JJ ran/rucked a ruck to give to Sargento.
We pledged, we ran the DEFIB route which happens to be uphill the whole way. Defib was so disoriented from the hills and elevation that he almost tried to cross the street one block early. Fortunately, JJ and YHC were there to act as guardrails to keep him on his path #cognitivedecline
In the end, the route ended up about .20 miles short so a lap around the lot made it an even 5 miles and the world was saved We talked about the brave men of UNC fraternities who raised the American flag and have an epic fundraiser going on to throw a rager. As of this writing, patriotic Americans have contributed nearly $400,000 to throw a party for the boat shoe wearing brohemians. When details are finalized, be prepared to clown car to Chapel Thrill to throw down with these Patriots

It’s late in the month so need to get these BB’s in for accounting purposes. So let’s hit the highlights.
YHC took us out in prayer
Until next week…
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!

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.
Shooting in Kansas City
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.
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.
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.

Until next time…
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.

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!
