As Hanover enters Phase 1

As Hanover enters Phase 1, only two men posted for a hot potato Q that went something like this.

Spit’s Q

One mile mosey – Two laps around the perimeter of Pearson’s Corner Elementary School. Stopped 4 times to do 25 merkins. As the PAX approaches the end of lap 2, Phonics goes down, Phonics goes down. More on that later. (Merkin count was 100.)

COT – Number-O-Rama, Name-O-Rama, Announcements, Spit took us out

NMS

With only 2 PAX members showing up for the opening of Phase 1 in Hanover, mumblechatter was high. Conversations ranged from Phase 1 for Hanover, not Richmond, the possibility of College Football in the Spring of 2021, other sports without fans, Qing a virtual AO, and the Merkin Challenge including Spike’s unbelievable pace in the challenge. (Congrats Spike for passing 5,000 on May 13!)

What will be remembered from today’s beatdown is was “Phonics goes down, Phonics goes down.” During the mosey, YHC was talking. All of a sudden, leg goes at least 12 inches into a hole which was mostly covered by grass. The pace changed to a walk after this occurred. In addition to running, YHC is known for falling while running which has happened at Sunday Funday, RAMM, and now The Creek.
