And just like that it was over
4 PAX for a quick run @ U-Turn….we all stayed together throughout the run, finished early, closed out COT, and all went our separate ways. And just like that it was over. I found my self standing in the parking lot all by myself wondering what just happened.
FNGs: none
Warm Up: 10x windmills, 10x frankensteins, 10x hillbillies, 25-30 merkins OYO
The Workout: U-Turn in reverse…I always thought this distance was around 5.75mi but I discovered today it’s around 5.3mi.
Mary: I should’ve made the time, but put more into COT so no regrets on that
Announcements: CSAUPS October 16th
T-Claps (Recognition): All 4 of us PAX staying close together the entire run
Prayer: Speedy recovery of Aquaman’s knee, loss of one of my close friend’s father, loss of one of my co-worker’s father, the well-being of my M’s grandfather who’s overall health continues to unravel, prayers for all the unknown

Warm Up: quick mosey to adjacent parking lot, 10x windmills, 10x daisy pickers, 10x imperial walkers

Mary: no time, workout ran over as it was
Announcements: Food Drive collection by Abe for Holly Springs Food Cupboard
T-Claps (Recognition): TomTom for showing up blind to the AO. He only knew of the time and the meeting place and not much else but he ended up grinding out 6mi with the rest of the PAX

This ain’t no Lipstick route
FNGs: Welcome “TEX”
Warm Up: SSH, DP’s, GM’s
The Workout: 22 HIM’s set out for just over 6 miles. New route took us out into the neighborhood behind Panera, looping around a few streets before coming back up to Bennett Knoll Pkwy. A few PAX mumbled this must be a Lippy route….no, no, no, not today boys, YHC called out directions, all PAX stayed on route, although the daylight probably helped. Heading over to 12 Oaks, down Ivy Arbor, we ran past the park and pond, looking back up for what ended up being a pretty long hill. From there, normal U-turn route was in play. Great work by all, a bit schweaty, but great work.
Announcements: Q swap with Carpex next week
Prayer: Friend of Pablo, Carter Mandeville

Holy Humidity Batman! 6/12/21
This was about as humid of a morning I’ve experienced running so far this year. I figured it would be bad because it rained all day Friday and as the sun came up it felt like a steam room. The only relief was a little bit of sporadic drizzling rain that hit us on the rain. I’m truly amazed at anyone who’s running in this type of weather without some type of hydration pack, or water bottle, or hydrating gel pack, or whatever else may be out there that I don’t know about.
FNGs: none
Warm Up: quick parking lot mosey, 10x Good Mornings, 10x Daisy Pickers, 30-35 Merkins OYO
The Workout: 6mi, 3.5mi, or ruck. 6mi route included a search for the albino deer, which eluded me this morning as usual
Mary: no time
Announcements: Warbucks collecting baby, preemie, and newborn items at AO’s to donate to the Newborn Critical Care Center at UNC Children’s Hospital to celebrate and honor his lost 5-week old son every year.
T-Claps (Recognition): Elton for coming all the way out to Holly Springs from Wake Forest to celebrate his 1yr anniversary.
Prayer: Axe father getting knee replacement surgery, Alpine travelling with family to Switzerland, safety for all those running the Grasshopper 5k
Runners, ruckers, and terds oh my…
FNGs: Welcome FNG Huffy – UTI let it be known that he brought Huffy and was claiming the point, thanks UTI
Warm Up: SSH, IWs, Frankenstein’s and GM’s
The Workout: 9 PAX out for a 3 miler, one rucker and 9 PAX out for little over 5. McNugget did his best Lipstick impression, first being denied entry to the bathrooms in 12 Oaks, only to drop his deuce somewhere off Green Oaks Parkway, I’m sure the furry woodland creatures are enjoying the smell. Great work by all today, beautiful morning for a mosey.
Announcements: Shredder is leading the Memorial Day Murph at Womble, check out slack for more details. We are also raising money the HSPD to equip 24 squad cars with a pretty sweet First Aid kit, which budgets don’t cover for them…a worthy cause. Bring some cashish or use the ol’ Venmo for donations.
Prayer: Spoken/unspoken, military, first responders, Crablegs.
Closed with the pledge of allegiance.
OG U-turn returns
25 PAX got a taste of the old school route this morning. We had a bunch of ECers run over from Jones Park as well. Lot of good chatter on this brisk morning. Nice work picking up the six. The 3 mile group did some yoga after their run. Pikachu called in sick so YHC stepped up for some May points. Nice work all around.
We ended with prayer as always.
Thanks for allowing me to lead.
BS out!
