A Hero Among Us
Below freezing temperatures could not keep 6 PAX from showing up at the Blakeney fountains this morning for our regular 5 mile run. At 5:13 we climbed out of our heated cars, wondered why we got out of a warm bed this morning and then it was time to go.
This morning was the Flat Branch route. Cross the parking lot, right at the McDonalds, cross Rea Rd, to Tolleson Ave then right on Bullock Greenway Blvd, right on Alexander Martin Ave then over to Darcy Hopkins for a little while, then left onto Dennington Grove Lane, right onto Bryant Farms Rd., a quick left onto Lanken Drive, left onto Provincetown Drive until we reach Williams Pond Rd. Then up to Elm, left on Elm, down Parks Farm Lane, right on Rea and back to base for stretching by Paper Jam.
MOLESKIN:
In this weeks edition of Blakovery we learned that Tuck really wanted to be a fireman when he was young. He lived out that childhood dream as an adult, living in one of the neighborhoods we ran thru. One morning at 4am, he awoke to the sound of a crashing car. A drunk driver ran into a house and severed the gas line and caught the house on fire. Tuck, the first person to arrive, seeing the fire and smoke, broke down the door to save an elderly woman, dog and cat from the burning house. He accomplished this heroic feat all in a guinea tee (if you are not sure what that is, ask one of the other Italians in F3) and still post at Swift.
Everyone have a great week and remember Devil’s Jam Thanksgiving morning workout launches from Blakeney Shopping Center at 6:30am on Thursday. Rebel Yell and Devils Turn are closed.
