Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship R4TJ
EC: YHC woke up early and had enough time to squeeze in 2-miles on the typical EC route from Ting. This EC wasn’t scheduled, announced, or intended but it happened. Since it wasn’t advertised YHC ran alone.
Warm Up: Stretching the appropriate parts related to running for a john – Ankle Grabbers (straight down, R-over-L, L-over-R), Downward Dog, and closed it out with that yoga pose that I dont know the name of but like alot… You know the one where you start in a Downward Dog then bring your leg forward towards the same hand then kick your foot towards the opposite hand. You know… that one 🙂
The Workout: The crew assembled for their exploration of “The Gloom”, we discussed our options checking in on everyone’s goals and paces. The course was charted for a run from Ting to Womble utilizing the well marked and charted “Main Street” vector. Cowboy, as his name implies, went it alone but promised to re-join us by the end of the mission.
As we neared the government offices of this strange and cold universe one of our commanding officers, Lipstick, was drawn into this strange blue box as if by a tractor beam. The crew continued on into semi-uncharted territory for the S.S. R4TJ, passing Womble and heading towards “Bass Lake Road”. Our technical officer, Yogurt, was troubled by the disappearance of Lipstick and circled back to find him. Our mission became more dire as we seemed to be pushed downward by some additional gravitational pull on this new vector. The trek up “Bass Lake” felt as though it was up-hill with no end in site.
We found relief with a new set of coordinates back towards the better known “Main Street” but we had to push forward through “Holly Springs Road”. It was on this route that we came across our comrade Bernie on what appeared to be a solo mission. We bid him good luck as he headed into the uncharted territory that we were just about to escape. In nearly the same instant, Lipstick appeared, he had freed himself from the mysterious blue box. It must not have been a horrible event – he looked quite relieved.
Back onto “Main Street” we were nearly home. Soon enough we were back at Ting. Mission Accomplished.
