Six men, or seven as Saab ran a brutal route, posted – or hit the post and then posted – to the latest edition of Sunday Funday. Conditions everywhere other than crossing the Nickel Bridge, were 70 and sunny. According to the 40 or so bushes that Peta pee-tad on, here’s what might have happened.
Route was decided incrementally – live-in-the-moment style.
Initial Route: let’s go over the bridge first.
Next Turn: Take a right at The Lariat, unless YHC is the runner, then take a left and win the prize for “first to the water fountain.” Never hesitate in life to win an event that others do not know they are participating in.
Next Turn: Around, if you are Pigskin. BTTVSF. 4 mile round trip.
Next Turn: T-Pottersfield Bridge.
Next Turn: Sippy / Helix do the hill up to the War Memorial. YHC again goes left along the railroad tracks.
Next Twist (or perhaps turn): Something in YHC’s left achilles.
Next Turn: Left at the Texas Beach Parking Lot to stay on the new trail, which is several years old.
Next Turn: Sippy Cup RIGHT at the wooden walkways and BTTVSF / off to worship. Nice to run with Sippy. All others LEFT towards the tracks / river / parking lot.
Numbers, Names, YHC took us out.
Announcements: TYA is hosting some sort of walk-about on Friday at 7 a.m. at the really big hut in Forest Hill Park. Run on the trails, walk fast on the trails, run on the road, bike on the trails, or bike on the roads, or all of the above. If you want to win, clear your schedule for the day or be ready to pull a Gillooli. Last person to complete a full loop wins. Bring kids, spouse, family, friends, friends of friends, special friends, friends with privileges, girlfriends, boyfriends, or someone else’s friends. Regardless of the outcome, rest assured TYA will come in third in the female, 50-59 age group. He always does.
NMS: Quite a day. “Sunday Funday” is not precisely the term. Sunday Falling Apart Day is more like it.
Someone give Pigskin a hug. His interactions with solid objects were numerous today. First, there was a car meets fence post incident and later a couple of diving plays while on the trails. Vaya con Dios, ese. Ten cuidado.
Congrats to TYA on completing the JFK 50 miler without breaking a leg, an ankle, your nose, etc. Sounds like a battle of attrition.
YHC thanks those who made him laugh today at ET’s.
