Mosey to rock pile. YHC told PAX to grab a medium size rock. This is obviously up to interpretation after seeing Cancun’s choice.

The 5 milers took old U-turn, with a trip up cemetery hill in anticipation of BRR in a few months. The run wouldn’t have been complete without a search for Martini’s phone on the route, t-claps to @Skidmark for finding it in the grass and @Yogurt for going back for the six.

Prayer: Good health and safety for all those running in Wilmington.

Why Would 21 PAX Post for a Wednesday Run? Must Be the Sprints!

March 12, 2021/in Running 4 the John /QIC: Yogurt
PAX: Axe, Bobby Boucher, Cupid, Dauber, Dumbo, Emeril, Full House, Katniss, Lipstick, Luigi, Mad Dog, Martini, Maybelline, McNugget, Pablo, Redenbacher, Roger Roger, Skidmark, U.T.I, Vasoline, Yogurt

Was looking forward to Q’ing R4TJ because I wanted to do two things: Launch a new route and bring back sprints. Needed to get off Crossway for some variety, but wanted to retain the elevation gain. Had lots of ideas, but when it came to mapping, it was challenging. Plus, I told Bobby Bouche that I’d map out a 3 mile option. Initial routes had too many turns, which lead to confusion and frustration. Finally occurred to me that Skymont to Daisy Grove was the perfect solution.

Must Be the Warm Up! Multiple PAX EC’d already. PAX kept rolling in as 0530 approached. Had to get in the middle of the parking lot where we could circle up. 21 PAX make a big circle. With so many EC’ers, I just wanted to warm up the remainder. SSH 25x, Daisy pickers 10x. We got a count and Bobby Bouche agreed to lead the 3.5-mile runners. We all took off. Felt like start of the HS Half.

Must Be the Route! HS Half start, climb Anchor Creek, right on Wellspring, down to the greenway, across the boardwalk. Beginning at the long boardwalk, Skymont goes straight up for a nice elevation gain. This is a very functional route. At the top of Skymont near Daisy Grove, 3.5-mile runners peel off at the greenway connection to Jones Park, head to HS Road, then follow Main back to Ting. At Daisy Grove, 5.5-mile runners turn left, make a couple of simple turns to get to Homegrown, then HS Road and Main to Ting. Finally, we all meet up at Ting for COT and sprints!

Must Be the Workout! This “one hour” run that goes by like nothing. Why? The chatter, the junk talking, the climbs, the descents, the sunrise, the picking up the six, getting to know new PAX, catching with PAX you haven’t seen in a while, and finally, the shenanigans—ask Lipstick and Roger Roger. I tried to run with as many people as possible, while turning back for the six regularly. This was fun.

Must Be the Mary! No, actually it couldn’t be, there was no Mary
Must Be the COT!

Announcements: Long A$$ Run, March 27, multiple mileage options accompanied by multiple starting points, all end in Durham
Prayer: Maggie P and family

Must Be the Sprints! Yes, it must be the Sprints! All 21 of us lined up for sprints, yes! Wait, that’s not what happened… But, shout out to Bobby Bouche, UTI, and Lipstick for hammering out some sprint to AC/DC Long Way to the Top.

PAX: 187, Emeril, Full House, Laettner, Maybelline, ShamWow!, Skidmark, U.T.I

The Workout: 8 HIM out this morning for some miles on what appeared to be a familiar route, the big dipper. Only to be side tracked down Grigsby to Elm and back to 55. Little did we know a yuge tea bag was formed. Nice work by all, Lipstick was missing, apparently his johnson sock must have been in the laundry.

Sadly they were very lacking. So we ended up with an order of hills hold the lights.

Slight miscommunication on the way back when a Cayman audible was called – good moral to do more picking up of the six when going through neighborhoods where there are lots of side streets.

There was no appetite for Mary in ~35F rain.
