Adding PAX from Saturday’s run to Big Dada
5 F3 Fearless Fellas, a guy named Patrick, and Peter the canine got together on a perfect day to run south of the river before returning North. Some took the trails (almost 7) and some the non trail loop (7.5). YHC took us out. NMS – While long runs have been later on Sundays, its been a while since river runs for YHC for no good reason. It could not be better than today. Warmer than over winter, but cooler than it could be. Decent enough overnight rain to wash out the pollen. Great 3rd F afterwards. Get Some!
Sometimes it’s sunny and 70 and other times it’s sunny and 70. Taking advantage, 2 hit the hills of Tuckahoe for a 4 plus mile jaunt. Route was Hoedown to Westham to Baldwin, across Patterson, circle the neighborhood, back across Patterson, onto Woodberry, then Horsepen, left on Hampshire/Wheeler/Bandy, through the woods onto College, right on University, return to Hoedown via Westham. Along the way M and 2.0 Bacon Bits were charmed by UpChuck not once, but twice. Discussion topics varied, landing on ACC sports at the very end. A topic on which YHC can actually keep pace with UpChuck.
