“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.
