YHC was pumped to host the Pre-run and with last night’s cold soaker expected 1-2 to possibly join for a nice mosey to the Dogpile Monthly Convergence AO from Early Bird Biscuit Company. Roll up to see Upchuck and Double Mint stretching…nice no solo run today and then Hitchhiker rolls in with Handshake following and what?…Hardywood rolls in for this pre-bootcamp mosey! So we are ready to roll and run straight on S Robinson street across bridge and take a right to run around boat lake and stay on Boat lake drive until Westover then to Swan lake drive around Swan lake to lake road to Shields lake drive and around shields lake to left on Shirley lane. We cross Park Drive to the AO for exactly 2 miles. We averaged a 9 minute mile with 9.13 for 1st mile and an 8’50” 2nd mile pace…great warm up run.
For the trip back after our Nancy Lopez WOR beatdown we did a straight shot on Spottswood drive to South Robinson street to our parked cars for a 1.02 mile run for a 9’24” pace, as we walked and sprinted some during the last quarter mile.
Numberama and Namerama YHC said a prayer for childhood friend Chris Ash who lost everything in a forest fire in Boulder, Colorado. He was able to escape with his family of four and four pets that they rescued in their car.
Great run and mumblechatter this morning. It was an honor to lead the route and have a great weekend everyone. Cheers….CB!
