YHC returned to his old, pre-F3 haunts for a run down memory lane. Somehow the hills in the Hillcrest portion of memory lane had gotten bigger. And I don’t remember memory lane being so rainy. But the nostalgia remained strong. The route went north to Park, then traveled west until we could take a straight shot down into Hillcrest’s front entrance. After the full Hillcrest loop, runners then selected their route through Windsor Farms based on their personal ambitions for the day. Some (Sippy Cup and Phonics) were more ambitious than others (YHC). After even the most ambitious had returned…

While two Davillians rucked, two others welcomed an SOJ visitor for his next summer tour date. Either the weather or ticket prices rivalling the Eras Tour may have kept more from attending. With out IT bands strung tight and all sound checks completed, we strummed our way through about 4.5 miles. Some of the hits heard by the ladies seen running with Marco Polo were about lotteries, bank examining, and boot camp induced aches and pains. After numbers and names, announcements included encouraging participation at the Bridge, Spit’s 400th Q tomorrow at the Creek, and YHC’s visiting Q at RAMM…

YHC and Greenbow left the safe space of SOT to get out and take on the wind and the rain of MOT. Greenbow predetermined that he would not be running 10 -12 miles today so together we ran to the bridge on Charter Colony which is the 2 mile mark where Greenbow turned and headed back to the flag. YHC bound and determined to get in 10 miles due to the fact that a Monday and Tuesday runs where missed kept pressing on towards Tomahawk Middle, Brandermill PKWY to Genito back up and over to St Francis, up to Manders…
