Can We Drive to the Deck? Seriously Frehley’s?

Can We Drive to the Deck? Seriously Frehley’s?

Forecast called for rain and mid-40s.  A bit of wind as well.  Spot on.  Bagpipe men sat in cars until 0528.  In the final 2-minutes, there was talk of driving over to the parking deck.  Frehley’s asked, in all seriousness, if this was OK.  Sure, we will meet you there.  Abba was ready to drive as well.  They both sucked it up and ran with the group.  Yes, it was raining.  Yes, it was a little windy.  Felt pretty good out there once we got moving.  Disclaimer given with a special note on safety, given the wet conditions.

We haven’t seen rain in like 35 days.  Clearly, some of our group did not know how to react to it.  Once at the workout, the only thing a car is good for is pushing it as part of the workout.  Maybe we should have put Frehley’s and Abba into a car and pushed it up to the deck.  Next time.  Admittedly, it was slightly uncomfortable just standing there in the rain and wind.  We quickly took care of that.

Hard to accurately gauge the mileage today.  Margo had us at 3.8.  Utah at 2.4.  Thin Mint put us at 2.2 before the Nickel and run back.  I am going with right around 3 miles.  YHC’s watch turned off on it’s own.

The duo of Thin Mint and Nard Dog was out front for the CMIYC repeats.  Margo, Soft Pretzel, YHC and Abba/Cheddar not far behind.  Rest of the crew bunched up tightly.  Thin Mint put some distance between himself and the group on the Triple Nickel.  He is faster than most.  Solid work.  T-claps to Abba for his 3rd post after a 6-month hiatus.  Glad to see you back out.  Solid work.  Not sure exactly when Kirby joined us.  YHC saw him running down as we were running up during CMIYC.  Anyways, good work out there.  Utah pushing hard while dealing with some shoulder pain that may be related to the Soccer Arms Cup.  Now you know where Ortho Urgent Care is located.  They open at 5:00.  T-claps to Paper Jam for the takeout prayer.  Thankful for the opportunity to lead this group of men today.  Good luck to all of the men running the Kiawah 1/2 and full marathon this weekend.
