Prayer Requests:
- Juice Box’s 2.0, Hank, having surgery on his hand today.
- Rollback’s M having shoulder surgery for the 7th time today (just saw he posted that surgery went well, so please pray for her healing and him (RB) to the HIM the family needs right now.
- Burns’s and family sick with norovirus.
- YHC took us out with gratitude for the day, the men of F3, and our lives & opportunity to make a difference in others’ lives.
NMM:
- It was a homecoming of sorts for YHC having been the 2nd (and last) site-Q of the now retired Outhouse. In commemoration, YHC had reached out to The H.O.G. yesterday to come join for a familiar route we had run many a Monday morning in the gloom. He obliged, and it was great to see him even though he had to bolt early before C.O.T.
- Much conversation was had about whether this was a better or worse route than last week (Frostbite’s figure-8s through Sherwood Forest).
- Apparently, when we shut the Outhouse door, no one paid the utility bills as we could not get any lights to come on. Frostbite got blamed for that.
- Bevo was right on time, which meant that the pax were running out of the parking lot as he was getting out of his vehicle.
- Apparently YHC’s route on MapMyRun left folks (Palin, Burlap, and ‘Bout Time among them) confused about how far down Sally Kirk they were to run before turning around. “All the way down” was not a popular answer.
- Mongoose was not pleased by anything that happened this morning, attempting to change the entire Gun plan. Sign him up, Closer, for his next RnG Q.
A great morning to be out running with you men. We’ll miss these days when it’s 70 degrees with 80% humidity in July.
Thanks for the keys, Closer (you were missed). They were left at the bottom of Sally Kirk.

Burlap
There was no real debate on last week’s route vs this morning’s— this morning’s was worse.
It also included a brand new driving student trying to pull out of Jefferson Middle School while we were running up that last hill. That kid waited about 45 seconds for me to pass by before he ventured out to Sally Kirk at 0600.
