Five half-awake rock stars went on an expedition to find a lake to run around, multiple times. Early on the route, “Won’t you be my neighbor?” was heard from the woods and five became six.
We ran downhill to the Raintree Swim and Racket club, ran 2-4 laps around the half-mile lake path, looked for Gomer and Gypsy in the pool, and then ran uphill all the way back for a 4-5 mile run depending on how many laps of the lake you did. We saw and heard lots of wildlife (cranes, hawks, frogs, whitesnake) which made the run different than the normal neighborhood routes. The fog on the lake was a nice touch.
Conversations went something like this:
– Where are we?
– Corner of Bumfuck and You Got a Purty Mouth.
and
– The only chance we have to survive is to huddle together for warmth
– I, for one, choose death.
Uphill on the way back and doing laps on the same route were not the Pax favorites so next time we will do a track workout and just the laps.
Thanks for letting me Q.

Thanks for leading, Whitesnake. It was a good route with the exception of the hills.
Call me crazy, but I liked the lake, the laps, the hills – it was indeed a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Thx for leading WS!
