11 congregated around the U of R lake, showing varying degrees of interest regarding which route they would take; As YHC spouted instructions with a map in tow, many expressed uncertainty on which direction to go; Lab Rat took off on his own direction, with Fudd as a companion upon later inspection; Sippy, Splinter, and Hardywood in front as one could plainly see, yet Hardywood dropped off near the end – supposedly having to pee; In hitting the steepest hills Pucker showed just what to do, while Two Can was not far behind sporting his new Scorpion tattoo; Bootleg was…

Four PAX braved the muggy weather to put in some miles at River Run this morning – all four thinking they may be solo with the regulars (Gumbo and Rosie) on hiatus. All four chose the 4 mile route – through Tarrington, across Robious, down Twin Team hill, around the school loop. Rosco, Sugar Sock, and YHC ran as a group and discussed the finer points of fashion and housing in the late 80’s and early 90’s – the consensus (by at least two) was to keep the cargo shorts and ditch the Colonials. Great running with you all this…

Five pax stood in the parking lot looking at each other wondering where all the regulars were and who was going to Q. When asked who wants it, all pax but Lab Rat took one step back. OK then, let’s do some experimenting! Original plan came to a screeching halt when we went to do a lap around the school only to be met by a formidable fence. We straightened back out and got some COP done in front of the school. Nothing fancy here, but get the muscles warmed up and stretched out. We then moseyed back to…
