Carmel Rd. Park is Lookin Classy

Carmel Rd. Park is Lookin Classy

Cool temps and low humidity were on tap for this morning.  Despite the excellent weather only 8 pax decided to post this morning.  Are there that many Cleveland fans that were up late celebrating?  Since moving to Waxhaw in early April YHC has been posting at #Flash on Mondays.  Carmel Rd. Park has been missed and YHC jumped at the chance to Q when asked by Bushwood.  This is YHC’s second time Qing at DMZ and Bushwood has yet to make the long and arduous 100 yard trek to attend.  #WasItSomethingISaid?  Arriving 15 minutes early (country roads are a lot quicker at 4:45am) the lot was empty except for this: 

Maybe Bushwood had shown up but after becoming frustrated by not knowing how to change a tire went home in shame, maybe he had gone for help, maybe he was leaving me props for my Q. #WhyDoesHeHaveTwoJacks? Whatever the reason, it was nice to see Carmel Park has classed it up a bit with the new addition.  YHC was sad to see the idling taxi cabs have moved next door to the church parking lot.

Naked Moleskin:

It was great to be back at DMZ despite the low turnout.  Union County has some excellent workouts but the surrounding neighborhoods of Carmel Rd. are hard to duplicate.  DMZ always attracts a group of men ready to work. Today was no different.  Thin Mint is fast on all terrains, whoever has him on their BRR team did a good job of snatching him up quick.  Hamlet, Film Festival, Doogie, Iron Mike, Aquafresh, and Stalker were all there as well pushing the pace.  With the new territory, YHC did not know exactly what the mileage was going to be and we had to push it at the end to get back in time.  Iron Mike ran 2 miles in so he gets brownie points for covering 7.5 miles this morning.  YHC appreciates the opportunity to take the DMZ reins for a day and the willingness of the PAX to check out some new territory along the way.
