A gathering of 8 PAX collectively glanced at their watches at 5:28 as McRib rolled into the parking lot wondering if we were late to start. Nope, just McRib getting off of HST (Hallsley Standard Time) to make it 9. At 5:29:30 Wilson asked who had the Q, since no one had signed up YHC took it and we were off.

YHC noticed late last night that no one had signed up to Q and made the decision that speed work was in order if no one took control by the morning. Lucky for everyone it stayed open and we got some track work in. When it was becoming clear that YHC had no intention of leaving the track McRib pointed out that there are fields and basketball courts and all kinds of other fun things at this AO, not today.
Wilson tried to smoke himself and everyone else out during Mary but the lack of a breeze made him the only affected PAX. He will be taking is 4th F to the Charlotte area, Gumbo recommended plenty of salmon and Malbec to ensure they get the full experience we get to enjoy daily. The sprints together gave all the PAX a little extra push around the track. Great work on the track by Tatu, Marmaduke and Bobber. They may be on the #runningsucks boat for now but that could change, especially if that Q slot for SOT stays open…
Great to be able to be out there, lead, and see the group growing. This was given to us and has benefitted each of us in many different ways. Keep giving it away.
Announcements:
- Charlottesville kicks off this weekend. See TYA for this weekend or Lab Rat for any of the next few Saturdays.

Good work, boys. Honeymoon will be happy to know I trapped another friend last night…and shouldn’t have fartsacked because I had to scramble to relocate it after waking up later than usual.
Solid !
Way to work guys – see y’all in the gloom..
Rosie, I will be sure thank you later when I cannot walk! Nice job pushing us. I was right there on that sprint (thought that would have ended after that – nope). Great seeing the fellas today and yes…….. #runningsucks
Strong work today men. Great to get back out to SOT. The darkness may have lifted, but it is still a little extra gloomy around the football field of broken dreams (as McRib has coined it).
Those 400m sprints really suck, so much so that I nearly blacked out during my attempt at the Oyster Sprint for 100m.
Major Tclaps to Bobber for his impeccable form during the Crunchy Frogs.
Thanks for leading us today Rosie.
Great job leading today Rosie! Also, being on time is awesome and I’m going to try to get better at that.
I’m still on the #runningsucks wagon, and today I found myself longing for a triple check in front of the school or a curb crawl on the basketball courts…but I must say I definitely needed the runs…so thanks for leading us through that. That said, this should give us incentive to fill up that q sheet at SOT.
On another note, it appears cuddles he has shacked up in a storage trailer next to the football field of broken dreams. So DK, SOT may not be the best option for varmint release (or maybe it’s perfect…it’s all about perspective)…
McRib
Cuddles jr…not cuddles he
Did you look closely at the raccoon and did he roll his eyes as though to say “Here we go again…where to this time…”
Probably for the best…I’m trying to split up the family, anyway. Hopefully they don’t plan a family reunion in Salisbury.
This one was smaller than the others…and covered in his own fecal matter. Goodtimes.
That looks like a bruiser this morning, nice work! I am not familiar with a crunchy frog … was this a new addition?
