“Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up, it knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn’t matter whether you’re the lion or a gazelle – when the sun comes up, you’d better be running.”

COT

YHC took the pax out, ultimately giving thanks to Him, and seeking his guidance, wisdom and blessings…

NMM

  • For the #OGs, sorry about the missing ‘Buckingham’ sign.  Bunch of hoodlums in BV must have stolen it.
  • Evidently, @VanPelt took a spill and had some blood running down his leg to prove it.  YHC can’t say much, pothole on Reynolds almost took me down.
  • @Spamalot was given the official #SafetyFirst Seal-of-Approval Award from @Toto – as he was appropriately “illuminated” – as opposed to “eliminated”.
  • @Spamalot also introduced the pax to a new cool app… ‘Relive’… which syncs up to other apps like Garmin, MMR, or Strava and ‘retraces’ your route.  It’s pretty neat.  YHC has already downloaded it!
  • @WalterWhite popped up out of nowhere.  He ran “a route” – no idea if it was even remotely close to the prescribed route, but he probably ran double the mileage in half the time, so… whatever works.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

  • Doce de Mayo @ Case de Splash – That’s tomorrow, May 12th at Splash’s house (launch @ 6:30 or 7:00?).  See emails, preblasts, and tweets for more info.
    • This is an effort to both offer a time of fellowship and support Splash’s fundraising efforts for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
    • There will be a split-the-pot raffle, so bring some cash!
    • No 2.0s, but M’s are welcome
    • La mejor cerveza y la comida más deliciosa!!!
  • @ZiggyStardust #VQ @ #IS
  • Ultimate Runner – June 30th

    Solid route Zuck! Appreciate the push from you and Patch at the end. #Kotters to Interference back at OGs. Good to see him back out there running.

      Dude… your push up Buckingham (once we double-back and found it) was intense. I was definitely holding on for dear life at that point!

    Today’s run is why I love F3. Pushes me out of my comfort zone, but surrounded by other guys who are pushing themselves and encouraging each other. Plus, got to hitch a ride with Patch to the launch point!

      Loved seeing you out there!

      And sorry I didn’t give you the now standard Zuck-to-Spamalot “slap” (yeah, you know what I talkin’ about). I was too busy trying not to die while keeping up with @Patch.

        yeah, those of us fortunate enough to “slap” know it. But gotta a feeling that’s a good way to break your hand if you do that our man Spam.
        Good weather and “fun” times.
        YHC continues to confirm, running shape and bootcamp shape aren’t the same. (not that YHC is in bootcamp shape either)
