14 gents ran a version of Singer’s-Toe run – which some described as having a middle finger due to the long upward climb up near the end. 4, 5, and 6 mile routes were represented. YHC opted for a secular and un-inspired close in the end. (This is what you get when you are not the Q and function as a stand-in….sorry fellas.)

To shave, or not to shave, that is the question. For one of our PAX it was an age old question, beard or… Intervals was the call of the day and YHC could sense the excitement of the PAX. One PAX member started pacing around 528, grumbling something about still waiting for instructions. Huggy Bear emerged from his chariot asking how this run thing worked. Perfect timing for YHC to declare, “Let’s Mosey!” The ThangWarm up run up out Richmond, Right on UR, left on Ridgeway.

9 gents arrived to take a running route from a negligent Q. The route included a long climb up Horsepen and then a run around the perimeter of Bandy field on an extremely dark and foggy morning. Suffice to say, it was ill-advised and no one could see or find the proper path…picture every pax member going in different directions. CSAUP this weekend. See TYA for details. Saab abides
