Three stallions emerged in the gloom to enjoy some moist air and Wet Asphalt Pavement. The route card shows 5 miles and since we were feeling good, the PAX did not disappoint – pushing to 5.9 total with a bonus trip around the Wellesley lake.

YHC took us out.

NMS – we are thankful when we for muffin melting weather. Given the steady win and gusts, it was difficult to hear mumble chatter. Most of the run featured the rhythmic slap slap slap sound of running shoes landing on wet pavement, punctuated by the occasional gutteral surprise upon footfalls landing in an unforeseen puddle.

YHC likes this route since there are easy ways to make it 4, 5, or 6 when the PAX are more familiar with the area. With the loop around the lake, we got the bonus plan baby. OH! (ADC voice)

Andrew Dice Clay  - Hey You got the bonus plan!!!

One side note… who can remember when “Little Red Corvette” was considered too racy for the radio? Or when we had to make sure that album covers (CDs) with Tipper Gore’s lyrics warning weren’t left out in the open for parents and young siblings to see. I get how culture changes and the adventurous push the envelope, but it really seems to be going hard over in certain circles. What is interesting is that my Gen Z 2.0s really have no interest (even in my super cool music). Maybe there is hope that we can be right with Him again.

Currahee!

  1. Great running with you all today. Thanks for setting the pace Splinter!

    Gitty Up!

  2. Thanks for leading Gomer and continuing to increase my comfort level with all those turns through the neighborhoods. I’ll get used to it eventually.

    It was a slog today, but glad to have partners out there. Otherwise, it never would have happened.

    Great message in the moleskin Gomer. Societal sensitivity towards certain topics has certainly waned.
