4 strong mosey into the darkness The thang Mosey through Tarrington up Robious across to Ellmsere take a right, through cul-de-sac back around to Brigstock over the bridge through the field …… and back to Bettie Weaver. Moleskin The plan was a nice easy tapering run to break in some new shoes in preparation for the BRR. Nearly a fail on all accounts. YHC shoes immediately created blisters limiting the run to more damage control than proper tapering. And the direction’s given to the speedy pax left out a couple of small turns. Ultimately all returned on time for a…
