Horsey BB – Full Loop
21ish PAX showed up for another rendition of Horsey McHorseSomething. (Editorial Comment: How did ppl come up with this name? It’s odd. I think Horse Head had something to do with it.)
We ran the big loop (top of the hill – Cactus Plant dead end, bottom of the hill – Wanda/Sardis, start hill, repeat). At the start, I said that most boys will run the route of their choosing but men will run the big loop. Surprisingly, there was organized chaos and most stuck to the plan.
A few observations:
About half shirts, half skins today which is surprising given it’s 102 degrees with 115% humidity at 0515.
Chester made a quick appearance waving at his departing father aka Hostage Taker. It was so humid that he didn’t even stay outside for a cigarette.
A nameless group of the PAX were whiskey-dicking (#lexicon) on lap 2 and still chatting about yesterday’s episode of Face the Nation or their Pokemon adventures or whatever. Egypt kept murmuring something about a pikachu and holding his phone out in front of him. It was weird. Glad there was 2nd F going on I guess.
Geraldo was still rocking his calf condoms and smiling ear to ear amidst the misery. #GlassHalfFullGuy
Alf looked miserable and lonely. Coming off of a regretful performance at the inaugural Beer Mile, his shame and self-loathing were palpable.
Laettner rocked his #NightLight. That’s it. That’s all I got for Laettner.
HH was 1.2 laps in before sources reported seeing him walk back to his car with “cramps.” Sources also reported seeing him pulverize and snort Midol before rejoining the PAX. Glad he made it back.
Turkey Leg’s training regimen is beginning to wear him down. He trudged through this morning but sources say he kept asking if the BRR was here yet.
Kirk ran in from his house (1.9 mi) and then back home. Long morning…
UAs from Semi Gloss, Hops, Hairball, and many more. TR Q’d at DMZ which is a righteous excuse.
Mr. Brady has the Q next week. He’s practicing his cadence counting as we speak…
F3 Golf is Friday. Tee times at 0900 (allegedly).
SOFAWIB is tomorrow, 0530 at the Ye Ol’ Providence Elementary. Take a break from all this running around and give your soccer arms a workout. Your wife will thank you.
There was 6-7 miles of moistness put in this morning. T-Claps to those who posted.

Run in was a bad idea made worse when first HH and then Egypt tempted me with rides home. Love Alf describing my BRR goal of “not dying”, which is always a goal of mine.
Completely unrelated to running, but I am hosting an event for a church planter tomorrow evening if anyone is interested. Find me on Twitter for details.
The etymology of the AO name is here: http://f3nation.com/2016/05/20/saddle-up/
F3 Golf registration is at 0730. Start is 0900. http://f3golf.com/details/.
Barely made it back to the lot. Thank goodness for that roll of shop towels in my toolbox.
Margot appeared to also be a victim of the Brown Plague. However, he had some sort of emotional life-changing experience in the woods and immediately got in his truck and left. I at least attempted a return.
