2 clown cars, a 4-legged friend and a couple lone SOjers made a total of 9 out for a few miles on Fathers Day Sunday. As the PAX gathered we discussed some routes and decided on the reverse Salisbury route with some alternatives to shorten the mileage. For those looking for the route, it went a little something like this. Right on Woolridge, right on Charter Colony, Left to Le Gordon and across Midlo Turnpike onto Winterfield. Right on Elmstead, all the way to the end for a right on Oakengate. 3rd right onto Castlebridge then a left on Salisbury…

Eight early-risers (well, not THAT early) departed ET’s for a couple warm-up miles on this most beautiful of mornings…#9 (Handshake) came in LIFO and caught up to the PAX. Spit had to cut out early to hit the links, so he parked at Dogpile and did Breakfast Club in reverse. Way to get it in. Kubota got a Wilson-esque headstart leaving Dogpile, but the PAX reeled him in. Great runs both ways. No More Gumbo For you…until Hoedown.

Almost 40 Dudes, Some Box Jumps, Some Burpees, and a LOT of Plank time…AKA, just another Saturday at Dogpile…

38 hearty souls (including 3 FNGs) broke free from the comfort of bed this morning determined to start Father’s Day weekend off the best way we know how – at Dogpile. The menu was chock full of Gumbo – all different varieties – including: Mosey over to the typical COP circle, which had been freshly cut and looked beautiful but we bypassed it anyway. With the large numbers, YHC couldn’t resist COP in the amphitheater and man was it great. Quick disclaimer for the FNGs, then right into COP on the steps including the following (all IC): DQs VERY slow…
