- QIC: Glazed Donuts
- The PAX: Tiger Rag, Fletch, Thin Mint, Swiper, Agony, Semi Gloss, Gummy, Horsehead, Kirk, JRR Tolkein, and Bushwood
Donut Run(ners)
11 ran the reverse route. The consensus was the reverse route is better. Good to know as we’ll be doing it again.
The fog was thick today. Felt very much like a 3am BRR leg. Note to self, where a headlamp. Thin Mint ran in for an extra 2 and passed everyone like they (or I) was walking.
Everyone stayed for some coffee and donuts. One of the discussions was around why would I purchase a dozen glazed for the pax and not an assorted dozen, which apparently is the same cost. 1. I didn’t Gummy was so against glazed donuts. 2. Same price? #gamechanger 3. You cannot go wrong with a DD glazed donut. Other topics, Map My Run is for old people, Ragnar is the new/better BRR, Gummy ate fried oysters last at The Lodge (FRIED OYSTERS), and other topics.
Quick explanation of start times. Why do we stagger the start times (earlier to later)? Ideally, we want everyone to end at 6:12. So, depending on how fast or slow you would like to run, you need to start accordingly to end at 6:12. In a sense, start with the end in mind and work backwards. If you feel like you will be too slow, don’t worry. You will have a running partner. Today we had people running paces at 8:50s/9:00s to 6:30s. Everyone had a running partner. Except Tolkein who should have started at 5:10 but started at 5:20 because of lateness. In the end, everyone enjoyed the run and then everyone stayed for coffee and donuts. It was a great time!
Let’s do it next week! See you all then!

If you want a dozen glazed, you go to Krispy Kreme. Dunkin’ is for pudding-filled and iced doughnuts.
We may want to gather outside when the weather allows. After Kirk and Semi violated their restroom, the manager was quick to clean up the sweat-stained chairs and dirty floors as we walked out.
The first part is absolute truth, but the second paragraph has one inaccuracy. Can’t speak for Gloss, but the turtle went back in its shell until YHC was home. Semi did leave a nice pool of sweat in their chair, which he was kind enough to mop up with a pile of napkins. Wise not to sit on the pleather chair.
Other than that, I think BW just left out someone mistaking Thin Mint for a bike. He was moving with the swiftness today and apparently dropped a sub-6 minute mile for (his) mile 8. Agony – you won’t see that on MapMyRun.
