Date: 2025-03-15 AO: stonehenge Q: Palmolive PAX: ToeJam, shrinkwrap, Rousey, Moth, C3P0, teddyf3, lex_luthor FNGs: None COUNT: 8 When I saw the flashing lights, I knew I was going to be late. The Stonehenge crew stepped up to lead while I dealt with legal delays and came into the parking lot hot. A quick lap around Ballantyne found the PAX at Stream Park, and they were ready to go!

Track Day on Pi Day

Date: 2025-03-14 AO: mountain-goat Q: retread PAX: Benny, fleetwood, gullah, retread, Spammer, wildturkey, Insomniac, Beefeater FNGs: None COUNT: 8 WARMUP: 3 laps around the track followed by stretching.

7’s – Gods number.

Date: 2025-03-14 AO: ufo-ultimatefriz Q: Spyglass PAX: Shank, David Baker, Crawdad, smokey, Slumdog, Yeti, Mayo, Chubbs, Spyglass, Fruity Pebbles, MARTA, Cool Runnings, Biden, Crumpets, Pink Eye, None FNGs: 1 None COUNT: 15 WARMUP: Marta involuntarily volunteered to lead a dynamic side straddle hop and quick count off before we all got cold and stiff again. THE THANG: Another sneaky cold 50 degree morning. A wise man once said, “does a frogs nuts hit the floor when it bounces?” Yes. Am I thankful to be coming out of the arctic elements we’ve faced the past few months? Yes. Do I also want 50 degrees to feel like 50 degrees and not 30 degrees, also yes.
I digress. Pink came out blazing, in part due to not wanting to sit around close to Slumdog and his unwashed pink penny he was donning from last week.
Sneaky good matchup of the morning, Mayo vs. Fly With Me. The two of them were putting in some serious mileage tracking to break down the seam and keep with one another. I’m more of a “don’t cross the 50” kind of guy myself, but I envy you both.
LOTS of chirping today between Friday Spy and Friday Shank. Suggestions of a trade came in WAY too early. Also a few “good defense” chirps to keep each other honest.
With a 2nd consecutive appearance, Crumpet is officially a Friday guy. Love to see it.
Slum played exception defense, reminded us all that God spent just a little extra time when crafting that mans calves. Following a nasty defense swat, we could be seen prancing down the field like a kid who was just handed a lollipop.
Chubbs’ flick is now a known weapon.
Cool Runnings reminded us all that he has the right wrist of a stallion, and even could be seen reminding his fellow yellows that he was very open on some drives. You could cut the tension with a knife.
Pinks dominance over yellow today could be described like a good morning pee, strong and steady. Similar to having to sneeze during that pee, there was a brief break in the stream where yellow managed to tie it up, only for pink to continue on and slam the door shut.
Wrap up: Shank officially in the market for a cleat deal. He is open to converting for the right price.
PINK: Spy, Fruity, Crumpets, Fly With Me, Crawdad, Slumdog, Pink Eye, Yeti
YELLOW: Smokey, Cool Runnings, Shank, Chubbs, Biden, Mayo, Marta. ANNOUNCEMENTS: Fellowship Friday breakfast at Stacks. Tournament Bracket Challenge coming soon. COT: Chubbs lead us out.

New sidewalks are big news

Date: 2025-03-13 AO: sparta Q: Orange Whip PAX: hoover, Full House, lex_luthor, Orange Whip FNGs: None COUNT: 4 If you’re a runner you know that a new sidewalk is one of the most exciting things that can happen.
The 4 of us did long suicides down the new Fullwood pavement and got slow miles in and tons of convos.
Lex and I played indoor soccer late last night so the legs were too trashed to push hard today.
Full House and Hoover were on board with a mellow day and we ended up just under 5 miles.
Good morning all around.
