Get Down on Your Hands and Knees and Let It All Out.

7 hombres rose mucho early to run and enjoy a peaceful desayuno with amigos. Temperatures were a perfecto 70 and sunny. According to the River Rock runners, here’s what happened:

Route was “follow the signs” to the route, the bridge to Buttermilk to Belle Isle, round the loop, to North Bank and BTTVSF.

Topics included: Should we run on the route in use by the River Rock Runners? Does the definition of diversity include more than race? In light of the CDC’s new guidance, do we still have to wear a mask to TYA’s virtual colonoscopy?

Answers were, in no particular order, “no,” “yes,” and “I don’t know.”

Numbers, Names, and TYA took us out.

Announcements:

Please sign up for Breaking Bread for this summer. Lab Rat is going to organize a group of bikers to take a night. Grab some of your mates and do the same. It’s a wonderful way to support F3’s contribution to the community. Sign up on the Q sheet.

If you intended to buy an F3 shirt, attend PuppyPile, or pay for the BRR, you are late.

NMS:

This group missed Puppy Pile today. That’s a bummer as anyone who has experienced the Slip-and-Slide knows it’s the Real Deal. Yet, it occurred to YHC that he has been attending F3 long enough that several of the children of today’s PAX have attended a PuppyPile, attended Sunday Funday, and Q’d or co-Q’d a Beat Down. Some have also done Breaking Bread. Kudos to them. As Saab said,”I don’t care how old I am. I care how old I feel.” You all are keeping YHC feeling young. As YHC’s Spanish-speaking amigos say, “Gracias.”

Good chatter on the run. YHC thanks Helix for sharing some very good ideas with YHC. Also, for any PAX who bought a ticket in the 50/50 Raffle, today’s question was “What time will TYA first say the word “rectal” during the run?” If you had 7:01 a.m., you are the winner.

YHC hurt his knee last year. It had been quite some time away from this group. Next month will be 5 years with F3, so it’s rare that, in a group of 7, YHC is the junior F3 member. Nice to sit down to chow with the guys who have been YHC’s mentors in this group.

(Yes, YHC has made questionable choices for mentors).

Let’s go Caps.

UpChuck spits the bit.
