The PAX gathered at various times at Hanes Park to begin their trot through downtown WS. The shovel flag was planted (virtually). Off we went. We ran varied routes and discussed varied topics. All in all, it was a solid performance. Check pre-blast for routes if you have already forgotten where you ran.
Moleskine:
There were a couple of sneaky hills thrown in for good measure. Trade (OG) or Broad (Tractors) are always fun. Rams Drive to Salem Ave. can take the wind out of you. Good news is that we finished on the downhill. My early running mates discussed the beauty of the Long Branch Trail, the downtown vibe, and the weather. Lawn Boy then peeled out for an early morning meeting.
When YHC joined the latter running mates, the conversation started strong but deteriorated quickly. We discussed quadruple D (Doctor Dean Dick Dean, for those unfamiliar) and the fact that Lysol had some solid waste moving into the lower chamber. Fortunately for Lysol and his hearty running mates, he managed to keep the waste engaged in the chamber and did not suffer an early discharge. #WouldHaveBeenMessy.
As the name-o-rama was concluding, 2 lost souls emerged off of West End. Zuck and Thor joined our party. Thor, misreading his home/car thermometer, chose to go Chippendale for the run. #PrematureSkinShow.
Announcements & Prayer Requests:
.. A family friend of Valdez was the one recently stabbed on the Greenway. She is out of the hospital and still recovering.
.. The Carver School Color Run, quite possibly the worst race you will ever enter, is April 27. It IS for a good cause, so suck it up and run…or give money. https://runsignup.com/Race/NC/WinstonSalem/CarterHighSchoolColorRun
.. The Craft Half Marathon is April 6. A chance to run from downtown to Buena Vista and back. Then, enjoy some craft beer. https://runsignup.com/Race/NC/WinstonSalem/CamelCityRacefest
YHC took us out.
